Features and description

Lantern Court is a superb building of an individual contemporary design occupying a commanding location with the most outstanding and uninterrupted views across the picturesque harbour and Lantern Hill, Hillsborough, Capstone, the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh Coast. The property was built by McCarthy & Stone in 2012 and is specifically for residents over 60 years of age. It is located just a short distance from the high street and sea front and local amenities which include a post office, pharmacy, hairdressers, bakers, banks and supermarkets. In addition there is also a library, theatre and cinema and a variety of good quality restaurants.

The development has some added features for the comfort and security of the residents. These include a large residents lounge with a large sea facing balcony, a passenger lift to all floors, a House Manager, Mobility Scooter store and charging point, a guest suite, laundry room and a landscaped garden with harbour viewing deck. From a security point of view there is a security entry system, 24-hour emergency call system in the apartments and communal areas and fire detection equipment and Vent Axia ventilation system.

Apartment 11 is a spacious one-bedroom unit with high specifications and a quality finish, located adjacent to the main lift service, insuring a higher amount of convenience. There is the immediate feeling of space upon entering the apartment in to the large entrance hall which gives plenty of space for wheelchair access if needed. There is a really useful large store cupboard ideal for general household items and also housing the hot water boiler and the air recirculation system. The heart of the home is the 21ft x 11ft living room which enjoys delightful and outstanding uninterrupted views to 180 degrees taking in the picturesque harbour and Lantern Hill, Capstone, Hillsborough, the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh coastline. A fireplace provides a focal point to the room and there is a door leading out on to the privately owned sea facing balcony. Leading from the living room is the kitchen which comprises a range of modern base and wall units and integrated appliances which include an oven, hob and extractor, fridge and freezer.

Across the hallway is the double bedroom which has a built-in wardrobe. The bedroom also enjoys the sea and harbour views. The shower room is well fitted with a white suite and includes a walk-in shower cubicle, a low level wc and a hand basin set in a modern vanity unit with a mirror and vanity light over.

The apartment is pleasantly decorated throughout in neutral tones and has carpets and flooring fitted ready for immediate occupation. The doors are oak veneered with chrome door furniture and there are electric Dimplex Quantum panel heaters and double glazed windows and doors.

The large privately owned balcony is a real asset and is a generous outdoor area measuring 12ft x nearly 6ft and has plenty of space for outdoor furniture, table and chairs etc. The splendid views can be enjoyed from the balcony.

Lantern Court has its own secure and covered car park albeit there are limited numbers of car parking spaces. The spaces are rented from McCarthy & Stone at a cost of £500 per annum. We understand that there are car parking spaces available at present if required.

AGENTS NOTE:
The property is leasehold with the balance of an original 125 year lease which commenced in 2012. We understand that the service charge for the coming year is £223.16 per month and includes maintenance of the common and external areas, window cleaning the building insurance and water rates. The ground rent charge is £425 per annum and this is currently paid in two installments every 6 months of £212.50. Pets are allowed in the building if you currently have one but once that pet passes away a replacement is not allowed. We understand that the property can be let but occupants must comply with the over 60's criteria.

We also understand that McCarthy & Stone are due 1% of any future sale price which is payable on completion of that sale.
Applicants are advised to proceed from our offices in an easterly direction along the high street and continue to follow the road on in to Portland Street. Proceed up the hill for approximately 400 metres where Lantern Court (McCarthy & Stone) will be found on the left hand side.
