Enjoy coastal retirement living in this well-presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom second-floor apartment overlooking St Anne’s promenade and beach. The open-plan lounge and bedroom both open to a large balcony via bi-fold doors, delivering bright, sea-facing rooms and space for dining and relaxation. The development includes a House Manager, residents’ lounge, guest suite and a 24-hour emergency call system for peace of mind.
Built in 2016 by a specialist retirement developer, the apartment benefits from a long lease (999 years), modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, wet-room style bathrooms and convenient in-unit storage with a washer/dryer cupboard. Superfast fibre is available and the property sits within easy walking distance of the town centre, train station and local bus stop.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement development for over-60s with an above-average annual service charge of £4,182.67 and a ground rent of £495 per year. Parking is via a permit scheme and spaces are limited and issued subject to availability. Heating is electric underfloor, which can affect running costs compared with gas alternatives.
The location is an important selling point for those seeking seaside access and local amenities, but the wider area records higher crime and deprivation indicators; prospective buyers should weigh these local factors alongside the clear lifestyle advantages of the development.
