Corner position near shops, bus routes and communal facilities.
Corner ground-floor apartment with direct communal garden access
This ground-floor retirement apartment occupies a corner position in a McCarthy & Stone development, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The living room opens onto the kitchen and there is direct access to well-kept communal gardens, providing easy indoor-outdoor flow and a pleasant outlook.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a shower room, communal lounge and laundry facilities, plus a lift and a 24-hour emergency care line for peace of mind. The building benefits from double glazing and is aimed specifically at the over-60s, making it suitable for those wanting a low-maintenance, community-oriented home.
There are important practical points to note. The lease has about 58 years remaining — this could restrict mortgage options and may deter some lenders. The service charge is approximately £3,260 per year and main heating is by electric storage heaters; both are ongoing costs to factor into affordability. On-street parking only, and the area records above-average crime levels, so consider security and parking needs.
Overall, this compact 398 sq ft property presents a straightforward, community-focused retirement option in Hythe. Buyers seeking a small, manageable home close to local amenities and public transport will find real convenience here, while anyone needing long lease security or low running costs should assess the lease and service charge implications carefully.
