Located in an area with very high crime and high deprivation
This superior first-floor retirement apartment occupies a seafront position with extensive sea and coastal views from many windows, including a distinctive turret bay in the lounge/diner. The accommodation is practical and spacious for two, with two large bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a separate shower room — suitable for downsizers seeking easy, single-level living with a coastal outlook.
The development is purpose-built for the over-60s and offers communal facilities that support independent living: a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry room, secure entrance, lift access and a 24-hour care line. Communal gardens and off-street parking add convenience, while the building’s neo‑Georgian façade and bay windows give the flat character and natural light.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (about 104 years remaining) with an annual service charge of approximately £3,911.40 and a notable ground rent figure listed (expensive). Heating is electric; the shower room is the single bathroom; and some rooms are compact, so prospective buyers should consider ongoing charges and energy costs when budgeting.
The location places you directly on Marine Parade West with immediate access to the beach and local amenities — attractive for seaside living but set within an area recorded as very deprived with a very high local crime rate. This apartment suits someone prioritising coastal views, community facilities and on-site support, who is comfortable managing the leasehold costs and local area considerations.
