Set within Maple Court, this second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment offers low-maintenance living close to West Town amenities and the seafront. The development includes a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, lift, communal gardens and allocated parking — practical features for independent older buyers wanting onsite support and social space.
Internally the flat provides an open-plan living/dining area with kitchenette space, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a separate bathroom. Double glazing and electric night storage heating keep the apartment straightforward to run, while a security intercom and lift add day-to-day convenience for stairs-free access.
Important drawbacks are factual and material: the property is leasehold with approximately 54 years remaining and a listed service charge of about £3,000 per year. The limited lease length may restrict mortgage availability and will affect long-term value; prospective buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice and review the lease and service charge accounts carefully. Heating is electric storage type, which can carry higher running costs compared with gas.
Overall this is a tidy, low-upkeep retirement-flat option for a single occupier or couple wanting proximity to local shops, theatre and sea. It suits buyers prioritising ease and community facilities but may require lease-extension planning or cash purchase if mortgage lenders are unwilling to lend on the shorter lease term.
