A rarely available first-floor retirement apartment with a southerly-facing balcony, set a short walk from Westbourne village. The open-plan lounge and modern kitchen create a bright, low-maintenance living area; the double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and the shower room has a walk-in shower.
The development is purpose-built with communal landscaped grounds, two lifts, residents’ lounge, guest suite, house manager and off-street resident parking — practical features that suit over-60s buyers seeking convenience and social amenities. The building was constructed in the 1980s and the flat is presented in good decorative order, ready to move into.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold retirement property with about 95 years remaining and an annual service charge around £2,888. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is in a neighbourhood with above-average recorded crime; buyers should factor ongoing service charges, electric heating costs, and local safety considerations into their decision.
Overall this compact one-bedroom apartment offers a comfortable, community-focused option for downsizers or purchasers seeking a manageable, well-equipped base near Westbourne’s shops and cafes. The accommodation is best suited to a single occupant or couple who value convenience, communal facilities and a southerly balcony outlook.
