Property Oracle says ..
This property is a one-bedroom retirement apartment situated in Highcliffe, Dorset. It’s located in an over 60’s McCarthy Stone development on Lymington Road. The apartment itself is relatively small at 514.19 sqft and lacks a garden or significant outdoor space. The images provided show a rather dated interior, with worn carpets and some areas requiring cosmetic attention such as repainting. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but slightly outdated. The property’s location in Highcliffe offers access to amenities such as schools, transportation links, and local shops. The proximity to the coast could be a significant draw for many buyers. The price of £60,000 is low relative to similar sized one bedroom apartments in the general area, however, the retirement setting and the condition of the property must be considered when considering if it’s good value. The significant lack of outdoor space is a key drawback. Overall, this property presents a viable option for buyers seeking an affordable retirement apartment in a convenient location, but the age and condition of the apartment mean that modernisation is essential.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
