This first-floor, purpose-built retirement flat sits in Crescent Court just off Hope Road, an easy walk from Shanklin’s esplanade and town centre. The sitting room is generous for the building type, with a covered balcony that enjoys sea views and brings in natural light. The property has been updated with a refitted kitchen and shower room, replacement uPVC double glazing and gas central heating, making it comfortable and largely move-in ready.
Practical benefits include an allocated garage with power and shelving, communal lawns and visitor parking, and an unusually long remaining lease (circa 962 years). Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, which helps with staying connected and arranging services. Council Tax sits at Band C, and the current service charge is around £1,200 per year (includes share of building insurance).
Notable considerations: the development is classified as communal retirement and sits within an ageing urban area with higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators. The flat is leasehold, with an annual service charge, and communal maintenance depends on the management arrangements. Buyers should note it’s a mid-1980s building and while the flat has had internal updates, communal areas and long-term maintenance may require oversight.
Overall this is a practical, well-located retirement flat offering sea views, a garage and ready-to-live-in accommodation. It will suit a buyer seeking coastal convenience, easy access to local shops and transport, and manageable upkeep rather than a project property.
