This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Forge Wood offers a practical retirement home with parking and manageable running costs. It’s being marketed with a Homewise Lifetime Lease example price of £182,000 for over-60s (typical savings 20–50%); full market price is £275,000. The flat is chain free, comes with its own carport plus communal parking, and has a Juliette balcony overlooking the communal garden.
Internally the layout is compact and efficient at about 505 sq ft, with an open-plan kitchen and lounge/diner that accommodates a small dining table. The property has one bathroom, gas central heating to radiators, and a remaining lease of 116 years. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for staying connected.
Notable ongoing costs include an average service charge of around £2,028 per year and a ground rent of £250. The apartment is small and will suit downsizers or retirees who want low-maintenance living rather than families needing larger rooms and outdoor space. Interested buyers should verify lease and financial details and check the personalised Lifetime Lease saving with Homewise if considering that purchase route.
This property sits in an affluent, low-flood-risk area with good local schools nearby and regular bus links; it’s a practical, low-hassle base for over-60s seeking convenience and community on a modest footprint.
