A well-presented 2-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment in Melton Court, designed for independent living over 65. The flat offers a generous lounge, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobes) and a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower and separate bath. The new 999-year lease from 2024 and gas central heating provide long-term security and comfort.
Melton Court is CQC-registered with 24-hour on-site staff, daily checks and communal facilities including lounges, dining room (subsidised lunches served seven days a week), laundry and a varied activities programme. The development sits under 200 metres from a Tesco and close to Branksome train station, Westbourne shops and the beach — convenient for local shopping, transport links and coastal walks.
Practical points to note: the service charge is approximately £10,800 per year (about £900 per month) and council tax is described as expensive; these cover building insurance, water and communal services but add materially to running costs. This is a probate sale with no onward chain. The area records above-average crime levels, which some buyers may wish to weigh against the benefits of staffed communal living.
Overall this apartment will suit downsizers seeking ready-made community living with on-site care features and nearby amenities. It presents straightforward living, good communal support and easy access to shops, transport and the coast, balanced against higher ongoing service charges and the probate sale status.
