This one-bedroom second-floor apartment at Mounts Bay Lodge offers low-maintenance coastal living with a private balcony and marina/ocean views—ideal for a downsizer seeking convenience and community.
The apartment has an open-plan kitchen/living area with integrated appliances, a good-size double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a shower room with safety handrail. Practical extras include a hallway storage cupboard, lift access nearby and access to a Guest Suite for visiting family. The lodge manager is on site five days a week and a 24-hour Careline system offers additional security and peace of mind.
Service provision is comprehensive: buildings insurance, utilities for communal areas, lift maintenance, garden upkeep and a contingency fund are included in the service charge. Owners also benefit from private car parking and the ability to use Guest Suites across Churchill Living developments.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold retirement property with a sizable annual service charge (£3,391.84) and a higher ground rent (£815.94) payable. The location sits within an area of higher deprivation and reported high crime levels—buyers should assess personal safety and local support options. The building is served by a community heating scheme rather than individual heating, and broadband speeds are average.
Overall, the flat suits an independent retiree wanting a coastal town base with on-site support and communal life, but buyers should factor ongoing running costs, ground rent reviews and local area issues into their decision.
