Summary - 14 Parklands Court, Sketty SA2 8LZ
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low‑maintenance two-bedroom retirement flat near shops and bus links.
Purpose-built over‑55s complex with lift and on-site manager
This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat in Parklands Court offers low‑maintenance living close to Sketty’s shops, pharmacies and regular bus routes to Swansea city centre, Mumbles and the Gower. The building is purpose-built for over‑55s with lift access, a communal lounge, laundry, guest bedroom and an on‑site manager, making day‑to‑day life easier and sociable.
Inside, the layout is practical: a welcoming hallway leads to a bright lounge open to a compact kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a modern shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heating keep the apartment straightforward to run; overall space is modest at around 625 sq ft, well suited to a single occupant or couple downsizing from a house.
Buyers should note important lease and finance details: the flat has 60 years remaining on the lease. This is short for a leasehold and mortgage lenders may refuse to lend unless the lease is extended. Service charges are low and council tax is affordable, but the property is fully leasehold so factor in lease extension costs and any future service charge changes.
The property suits someone seeking a secure, community‑oriented retirement base with easy access to local amenities and public transport. It offers a comfortable, low‑upkeep home now, with potential to personalise the interior, but anyone requiring mortgage finance should get specialist advice about the lease length before committing.
