King & Chasemore Steyning have been asked to sell this Secure Communal Retirement Comfort in the Heart of Shoreham by Sea
Offering facilities for social retirement living, where you can make new friends or retain complete independence, this ground floor retirement apartment provides the perfect solution if the upkeep of your current home is becoming a little too much - without the need or commitment of a care setting.
Situated within a well managed retirement development, residents enjoy a genuine sense of community alongside the comfort of privacy. The development boasts some pretty epic communal gardens, ideal for enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of wine alfresco, with the added bonus of a lovely pond bringing nature to your doorstep - remarkably peaceful given its central Shoreham location.
Further communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, ideal for socialising, games afternoons or even enjoying a cheeky takeaway together, along with a convenient communal laundry room.
The apartment itself is positioned on the ground floor, offering easy, level access throughout. A real highlight is the direct access to the gardens via a double glazed patio door, allowing you to open the door on warmer days and let the outside in.
Internally, the property offers a spacious through lounge, providing ample room for both living and dining furniture, a separate kitchen, bathroom, generous storage cupboard and a comfortable double bedroom with built in wardrobe.
For peace of mind, the development benefits from a live in House Manager, a secure entry phone system and an emergency pullcord system, which connects directly to a call centre should help be required due to a fall or medical emergency.
The apartment has remained largely unchanged since its construction in 1989, meaning it would now benefit from cosmetic modernisation including a new kitchen, bathroom, flooring and redecoration - offering a fantastic opportunity for a buyer to personalise the space to their own taste.
Offered for sale with no onward chain and available to view through the sole agents King & Chasemore, who hold keys for convenient access.
Shoreham by Sea offers a charming blend of coastal living, historic character and everyday convenience, making it an increasingly popular choice for retirees.
The town centre provides a wide range of independent shops, cafés, bakeries and supermarkets, alongside banks, pharmacies, gp surgeries and post offices - all easily accessible.
The nearby River Adur is perfect for gentle walks, boat watching or enjoying lunch at one of the waterside cafés, while Shoreham Beach offers fresh sea air and peaceful promenades.
For leisure, residents can enjoy community centres, walking groups, bowls clubs, golf courses, swimming pools and arts events, including theatres and galleries in nearby Brighton and Worthing. The local area also hosts regular markets and seasonal events that help foster a strong sense of local community.
Although primarily attractive to downsizers and retirees, Shoreham offers a good selection of local schools, useful for visiting family, with well regarded primary and secondary options nearby.
Transport links are excellent. Shoreham by Sea railway station provides regular services to Brighton, Worthing, Chichester and London Victoria, making visits from friends and family straightforward. By road, the A27 offers easy access east and west along the coast, with the A23/M23 connecting directly to London and Gatwick Airport.
In short, Shoreham by Sea combines coastal tranquillity with superb connectivity, offering a relaxed yet well connected lifestyle perfectly suited to retirement living.
