A bright first-floor retirement apartment located on Baldock High Street, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation.

Residents benefit from a communal lounge, laundry room and well-kept communal gardens — practical facilities for over-55s seeking low-maintenance living close to amenities.
This compact apartment is economical to run in terms of service charge but has notable leasehold costs: an 89-year lease remains and the ground rent is high at £2,000 every six months. Heating is by electric storage heaters, so buyers should consider running costs and suitability if alternative heating is preferred. The property dates from the early 1990s and has double glazing; no flooding risk is recorded.
The position on the High Street places shops, health services and public transport within easy reach, making the flat especially convenient for those who prioritise walkable daily needs. The communal lounge and laundry add social and practical value for retirees. Prospective buyers should verify lease documentation and factor potential additional fees for leasehold paperwork and any future maintenance.
Overall this apartment offers straightforward, low-upkeep retirement accommodation in a town-centre location. It suits a buyer seeking convenience and communal facilities, provided they are comfortable with the lease length and significant ground rent charge.
