A two-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Tembani Court, designed for independent older residents. The lounge opens onto a balcony with coastal outlooks, bringing natural light into a manageable 685 sq ft layout. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry room and a Development Manager supported by a 24-hour Appello emergency call service, providing reassurance for everyday living.
Practical considerations: the property uses electric storage heaters and has a long lease (125 years from 1995, c.94 years remaining). Service charges and ground rent are significant — currently £4,000.16 service charge and £582.56 ground rent — which cover building management, communal services and facilities but will affect ongoing costs.
The building, constructed in the early 1990s by McCarthy & Stone, benefits from lift access to all floors and a communal digital satellite dish (additional fees may apply). The complex suits buyers aged 60+, seeking low-maintenance living close to the seafront and local amenities, though the surrounding area scores as deprived and local services vary.
This apartment will appeal to buyers prioritising safety, community and sea-access rather than a low-running-cost home. It offers comfortable retirement living with scope to personalise interiors, but prospective purchasers should factor in the ongoing service and ground rent commitments and the electric heating system when assessing affordability.
