The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall construction; the communal gardens and nearby parking contribute to a comfortable retirement lifestyle.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold with 88 years remaining; annual service charge is approximately £1,750 and ground rent around £350. Heating is electric storage radiators, which can be costlier than gas alternatives, and broadband speeds are average — factors to consider for running costs and daily comfort.

Prospective purchasers should verify lease documentation and budget for ongoing service charges and potentially higher electric heating costs.
