Set within a sought-after Highcliffe location, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers easy, low-maintenance living ideal for downsizers. The property benefits from a lift to all floors, a generous balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens, and a private garage with visitor parking. Its 719 sq ft layout includes two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the main bedroom and a fitted kitchen, arranged for comfortable everyday living.
Practical ownership features include Share of Freehold, an Energy Performance Certificate of Band B, and a modest service charge of £1,790 for the year ending 29.9.26 (including reserve). Council Tax sits at Band E. There is no forward chain, and the building sits in a very affluent, low-crime area close to Highcliffe village, cliff top walks and local amenities.
The block was constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s and has double glazing installed before 2002. That means while energy performance is good, some fixtures and finishes may reflect the building’s era and could suit light updating to personal taste. Broadband speeds are average, and mobile signal is excellent.
For buyers seeking an accessible coastal base or a manageable retirement/downsizing move, this apartment combines location, practical facilities and communal comforts. Note the service charge and Band E council tax when budgeting, and the apartment’s traditional layout may appeal to those preferring established, well-maintained communal schemes.
