This well-presented first-floor retirement apartment sits in the heart of Malvern Link, a short walk from Malvern Link train station and local amenities. The living room is bright and opens to a Juliet balcony; the layout includes a spacious reception hall, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom — practical accommodation for independent retirement living. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, guest suite, laundry and a 24-hour call alarm system, with well-tended communal gardens and on-site parking.
The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) and the flat benefits from double glazing, electric storage heaters and a generous walk-in airing cupboard for storage. It is offered chain free, 646 sq ft in size and aimed at residents aged 60 and over who value convenient, low-maintenance living close to transport and shops.
Buyers should note several important limitations. The lease has only around 79 years remaining — this will restrict mortgage availability and may deter lenders. Service charges are relatively high (approx. £5,226.64 per year) and ground rent is £450 annually. Heating is via electric storage heaters and there is no communal gas; running costs can be higher than gas-heated alternatives. The immediate area records a very high crime statistic, which prospective purchasers should factor into their decision.
Overall this flat will suit a downsizer or retiree seeking a ready-made, secure retirement setting with communal support and close station access, provided they and their advisers are comfortable with the lease length, ongoing service charges, and electric heating arrangements.
