This ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment sits on Westcliff's seafront with an east-facing balcony and views across the Thames Estuary. It offers practical independent living for the over-60s: lift access, on-site premises managers, a residents' lounge, laundry and a 24-hour emergency pull-cord system.
The flat is chain free and conveniently placed for Hamlet Court Road amenities, Westcliff station and the beach. Double-glazed tilt-and-turn windows and electric room heaters make the interior straightforward to maintain, while communal gardens and a residents’ car park add outdoor and parking convenience (first-come, first-served).
There are important lease and cost considerations: the lease has about 58 years remaining and some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. Service charges are high (£5,051 pa) with ground rent of £500 pa — factor these into affordability. The building dates from the early 1990s and the apartment may suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance retirement base rather than a long-term investment.
The local area provides good transport links and amenities but records higher crime levels and significant area deprivation. This apartment will appeal to downsizers who prioritise seafront access, on-site support and convenience, and who understand the lease and service-cost implications.
