First‑floor two‑bed retirement flat close to shops, station and communal facilities.
Two double bedrooms suitable for over‑sixties living
A purpose-built retirement apartment in the heart of Southbourne, this first-floor flat offers two double bedrooms and convenient access to local shops, the train station and bus routes. Communal facilities include warden assistance, lounge, conservatory, laundry room and an average-sized communal garden — useful social spaces for over‑sixties living.
The flat is presented as a well-maintained, average-sized unit with double glazing and electric storage heaters. Off-street communal parking and a practical fitted kitchen add everyday convenience. Council Tax band is modest and the EPC is acceptable (C), supporting reasonable running costs for a retirement home.
Important practical points: the lease has 60 years remaining and may limit mortgage options; some lenders could refuse to lend. The property is sold by the Modern Method of Auction — buyers should allow for the reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus the pack fee and a 56-day completion timescale. Service charge is approximately £2,388 per year.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking a manageable, social retirement setting near good local amenities and transport links, or a cash buyer/investor comfortable with auction purchase terms. Carry out full due diligence on lease length, service charge details and lending options before bidding.
