THE PROPERTY

Built in 1996 this retirement apartment block is run by FirstPort who are well known and respected and with a long history of similar developments.

Residents have peace of mind and where you have likeminded and people of a similar age (and probably interests) who have a mini-community where they can keep to themselves or be as sociable as they like. There is a large communal lounge where al sorts of activities take place and one could join in….or not. A larger than most lift-served apartment, set within McCarthy and Stones' much sought-after seafront retirement development. This spacious two-bedroom apartment has a good-sized lounge/dining room and good sized kitchen. Offered with vacant possession.

AGENTS NOTE

Bay Court is a Leasehold development and the lease was 125 years from 1996. Because the building maintenance is carried out by a management company there is a charge which is £2,218.69 for the period 01/03/2024 - 31/08/2024. This cost pays for all the gardening, building upkeep, insurance, water, communal areas and house manager. Ground rent is £586 per annum (£293 payable every six months). It is a condition of purchase that residents are over the age of 60 years, or in the event of a couple, one must be over the age of 60 years and the other over 55. Management Company FirstPort

Communal Garden

To the front of Bay Court is a large communal garden which is mainly laid to lawn with seating areas and shrub, and flower borders. A pretty pagoda is to one side where residents could enjoy the Southerly aspect and sea air. There is a residents car park to the side of Bay Court.
