Purpose-built retirement flat with on-site manager and communal facilities, needs kitchen modernisation..
Two-bedroom retirement flat with lift access
A two-bedroom retirement flat in Fern Court, built by McCarthy & Stone, offering lift access and purpose-built communal facilities ideal for active downsizers. The development includes a resident manager, 24-hour Appello emergency response, residents' lounge, guest suite and communal laundry — practical features that support independent living and occasional visitors.
The apartment provides a comfortable living room and two bedrooms with standard ceiling heights and ground-level parking nearby. Modern communal security includes video door entry (linked to owner TV) and an Appello call system. There is a communal satellite dish but additional subscription fees may apply.
Notable costs and conditions: this is a leasehold retirement property (minimum age 60, partner 55) with an annual service charge of £4,112.94 and ground rent of £582.44. The kitchen is dated (1980s cabinets, vinyl flooring) and would benefit from modernization to suit contemporary tastes. No flood risk is recorded and broadband and mobile signal are good in the area.
Positioned in Bexleyheath town centre, the flat is close to shops, cafes, transport links and a range of schools and amenities — useful for visitors and family. At £225,000 this apartment suits buyers seeking low-maintenance retirement living with on-site support, subject to the leasehold costs and age restriction.
