99-year lease remaining; freehold not included (leasehold)

Location: short walk to train station, shops and amenities
Area has high crime rate and high deprivation indicators
This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment in an over-55s development offers an easy-care home close to Clacton town centre and the train station. The block includes a lift, communal gardens and off-street parking, and the flat benefits from a balcony and an average-sized 808 sq ft layout suitable for comfortable single-level living.
The apartment suits buyers seeking low-maintenance retirement living with local shops, services and transport within easy walking distance. The 99-year lease gives long-term certainty, and the layout is traditional and straightforward for modest adaptation or modernising to taste.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold, with a service charge of £5,400 per year (above average), and heating is via electric storage heaters. The wider area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation indicators, which may affect insurance costs and resale expectations. Viewings will suit buyers prioritising convenience and community over a quiet rural setting.
Guide price shown at £110,000–£130,000. For anyone seeking a secure, low-upkeep retirement home with good local access, this apartment offers a practical, well-located option — though budget for ongoing service charges and plan for electric heating and any desired updates.
