A bright ground-floor retirement apartment with direct access to well-kept communal gardens and sea-facing views towards Southbourne clifftop. The reception room opens to a paved terrace; a bay window provides a pleasant dining spot. The kitchen has been recently refitted to a modern standard and the bedroom includes extensive fitted wardrobes for generous storage. The shower room is arranged for ease of use and the overall layout suits single-occupant living.
Dean Lodge is a small, purpose-built development designed for over-60s living with communal facilities that support an independent lifestyle: owners’ lounge, guest suite, laundry room and regular social events. Safety features include a 24-hour emergency Careline, video entry, intruder alarm and comprehensive fire/smoke detection systems. Off-street parking is available and the building sits a short walk from Southbourne Grove and the cliff-top path to the beach.
Practical considerations: this is a leasehold apartment with 116 years remaining. Annual costs include an average service charge of approximately £2,038 and ground rent totalling £647.96 per year. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than a central gas system. The property is compact at about 434 sq ft, best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking low-maintenance retirement living rather than a larger household.
This apartment offers a secure, community-focused coastal location and well-presented accommodation for an over-60 buyer who values easy access to local shops, transport links and the seafront. Buyers should factor the service charge, ground rent and electric heating into running-cost calculations.
