This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Magnolia Court offers a compact, low-maintenance home close to Horley town centre. Set within a popular over-60s complex, the property benefits from an on-site manager, 24-hour emergency call system, communal gardens and a residents’ lounge — features that suit someone seeking security and community.
The flat has a generous living room, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a practical kitchen. Resident off-street parking and an EPC rating of B add practical value. The building is modern brick (1983–1990) with double glazing and low local crime, and key amenities — shops, surgery and transport links — are an easy walk away.
Important practical points: the lease has 63 years remaining and this may restrict mortgage options or resale appeal; some lenders can refuse to lend on shorter leases. The apartment is small (approx. 429 sqft) and parts of the interior — notably the kitchen — would benefit from updating. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating.
Overall, Magnolia Court suits a buyer over 60 wanting community living, convenience and low upkeep, provided they are comfortable with a shorter lease and potential refurbishment to personalise the space.
