This two-bedroom upper-floor apartment sits within a purpose-built retirement community in Hornchurch, offering a quiet, low-maintenance home with communal gardens and a residents’ lounge. The layout includes a reception room, separate kitchen, bathroom and a handy laundry room across an average-sized 774 sq ft footprint.
Practical features include off-street parking, double glazing, and a long lease (98 years remaining). Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property runs on mains electricity — a straightforward arrangement but one that can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
The setting is comfortable and well-served: local shops, healthcare, and frequent bus links are close by, and the area is classified as affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is moderate and there is no local flood risk, which helps with ongoing affordability and peace of mind.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a secure, social community rather than buyers wanting a fully modernised, energy-efficient home. Some updating to décor and heating could enhance comfort and reduce running costs over time.
