Comfortable two-bedroom retirement apartment on the third floor of a purpose-built block in Herne Bay. The standout feature is a very large private roof terrace and rooftop conservatory with direct coastal views — ideal for enjoying sea air and outdoor sitting without garden maintenance. The building provides practical communal facilities: residents' lounge, laundry, guest suite, lift to all floors and a Visiting Development Manager supported by a 24-hour Appello emergency call system.
The apartment is compact but sensibly laid out with an entrance hall, lounge/dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Room sizes are average for retirement accommodation; double glazing was installed after 2002. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and the property uses electricity as its main fuel, so running costs should be considered when budgeting.
Material points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property (minimum age 55) with around 102–103 years remaining on the lease. Service charge and ground rent details are not provided and should be confirmed before purchase. The wider area records higher crime and significant deprivation indices — buyers should consider local safety and community factors alongside the convenience of nearby amenities and excellent mobile and broadband connections.
This apartment suits a downsizer seeking low-maintenance coastal living with communal support on-site and exceptional outdoor terrace space. It represents a practical, independent retirement base with scope to personalise interiors, but factor in running costs, heating type and confirmation of service charge details before proceeding.
