A bright third-floor one-bedroom apartment in Halebrose Court, a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone retirement development completed in 1996. The flat offers a comfortable, easy- care layout with a medium-sized living room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom — about 510 sq ft — set within well-maintained communal grounds.
Designed for independent over-60s, the building provides practical on-site features: a Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system, lift access to all floors, residents’ lounge, communal laundry and a guest suite for visitors. The location in Southbourne benefits from good bus links to Bournemouth and Christchurch, nearby shops and low local crime.
Costs and specification are straightforward: an existing lease with long remaining term (sources list c.95–119 years), an average service charge of £3,478.80 and a ground rent of £520 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity; double glazing is already installed.
This apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement base with communal facilities and reassurance of on-site support. Buyers should note the relatively high annual service charge and ground rent, and consider the electric heating when comparing running costs.
