Set on the second floor of a small, well-managed 1960s block, Flat 4 at Capstone Court offers immediate coastal living with wide sea and town views. The apartment has been newly renovated with uPVC double glazing, a new gas combi boiler, radiators and refreshed kitchen and bathroom, making it largely move-in ready for someone seeking low-maintenance accommodation.
This property is marketed with a Homewise Home For Life example price: Lifetime Lease guide price £120,500 (typical saving ~33% on the full market value of £180,000). The Lifetime Lease option is available to purchasers aged 60+ and lets buyers purchase a share (up to 50%) to protect future value; actual price depends on age and circumstances. If not using the Lifetime Lease scheme, the full market price applies.
Practical benefits include a private garage (recently re-roofed with a new door), additional visitor parking, large communal lawns, and exclusive access to a substantial loft space for storage. The block is run by a resident management company; the current service charge is £100 pcm (£1,200 pa) covering external maintenance, gardening, bin collection and building insurance.
Notable drawbacks to consider: this is a leasehold flat (balance of a 999-year lease from 2013) with a service charge. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. While the building and flat are newly refreshed, buyers should verify appliance condition and any permissions for alterations. The Homewise Lifetime Lease is restricted to those aged 60 and over — younger buyers would need to purchase at full market value.
