2 bed 1 bath Flat
Comfortable two-bedroom retirement flat with lift, communal gardens and free laundry.
Purpose-built over-60s second-floor flat with lift access
This purpose-built over-60s second-floor apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living in a modern block with lift access and pleasant communal gardens. The layout comprises an entrance hall, a generous lounge/diner, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a modern kitchen and a shower room — all fitted with emergency pull cords for resident safety. The 732 sq ft footprint is sensible for downsizers who want space without the upkeep of a house.
The building was constructed c.2003–2006 and benefits from double glazing, cavity-wall insulation and communal services including a lounge, free coin-free laundry facilities and communal parking. The lease has around 106 years remaining, providing long-term security for buyers. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports staying connected and accessing services from home.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with an annual service charge (approx. £2,700) and ground rent (£230). Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can mean higher running costs. The local area is described as an urban cultural mix with higher-than-average crime levels, which some purchasers may wish to consider when assessing safety and security.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer aged 60+ seeking a comfortable, modern, low-maintenance home in a purpose-built community with communal amenities and lift access. Practical positives include lift access, communal social areas and off-street parking; practical considerations are leasehold costs, electric heating and local crime statistics.
