Specifically designed for over-55s, this first-floor apartment offers low-maintenance coastal living close to Broadstairs’ sandy beaches and town centre. The 547 sq ft layout includes two bedrooms, a bright lounge with a Juliette balcony and a practical kitchen — all arranged on one level for everyday convenience. Off-street parking plus a garage provide useful storage and vehicle space.
The property sits on a long 180-year lease and is held as a share of freehold, reducing long-term lease concerns. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, and double glazing is fitted (installation date unknown). The compact footprint makes it straightforward to manage, while nearby coastal paths, cafés and local amenities support an active retirement lifestyle.
Buyers should note the apartment’s modest overall size and the shower has a shallow step-up, which may affect full mobility access. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so some buyers may wish to budget for energy-efficiency improvements. The surrounding area is flagged as deprived, with average local crime; however broadband and mobile signals are strong and council tax is described as cheap.
This home suits someone seeking a seaside retirement bolt-hole with convenient parking and low internal upkeep, and who is comfortable with a smaller living space and potential minor upgrades for comfort and efficiency.
