Summary - Apartment 27, Elkington House, Charlton Green, Dover CT16 1AP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable one-bedroom retirement home with 24/7 support and communal facilities.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with lift access
A bright, first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Elkington House, designed for over-70s who want community and seaside access. The open-plan living space and double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe provide practical, easy-to-manage accommodation with lift access and a long 990-year lease.
The development offers genuine convenience: 24/7 on-call staff and an Estate Manager, an on-site bistro open daily, communal lounge with free Wi‑Fi, guest suite for visitors, and a secluded landscaped garden. The location is handy — about 0.7 miles from Dover Priory station and roughly a mile from Dover beach and the White Cliffs.
Practical considerations are transparent: this is a shared-ownership retirement property (seller owns 75%, 25% retained by McCarthy Stone Shared Ownership Ltd), with electric room heaters and no allocated parking included in the sale price. The annual service charge is high at £8,276.54 and there is a £435 ground rent (review 2037). The surrounding area records higher crime and marked deprivation levels, so buyers should weigh community benefits against local area issues.
This apartment suits someone seeking downsizing with on-site support and social facilities, strong digital connectivity (full-fibre broadband, excellent mobile signal) and a very long lease. It is best for purchasers comfortable with shared-ownership, higher service costs, and electric heating rather than those wanting independent, low-running-cost ownership.
