A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in Southbourne offering easy access to shops, cafés and the nearby cliff-top seafront. The communal block includes a residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest suite, part-time house manager and 24-hour careline for added peace of mind. The flat is chain free and arranged with a roomy lounge that opens onto a sunny communal patio, a separate kitchen with built-in electric hob and eye-level oven, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, and a tiled shower room.
Practical details suit downsizers: off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is leasehold with 98 years remaining, but running costs include a substantial service charge (£3,385.40pa) and a high ground rent (£785.47pa). Heating is by electric storage heaters, and there is double glazing installed before 2002.
The interior is described as well presented but shows some dated fittings and will benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. Buyers should note the above-average local crime rate and that utilities are mains electricity and water. This apartment is a good option for someone seeking a low-stairs retirement location within walking distance of local amenities and the coast, who is comfortable with the ongoing service and ground rent costs.
