A spacious ground-floor retirement apartment in the well-kept Lydgate Court development, ideal for those seeking secure, low-maintenance living close to Bury St. Edmunds town centre. The sitting/dining room enjoys a sunny aspect and is larger than many neighbouring flats, while the fitted kitchen and built-in bedroom storage add practical convenience.
The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an en suite shower; a second double bedroom and separate wet room provide flexibility for guests or a home office. The apartment is served by gas central heating, double glazing, and a reliable emergency intercom linked to a 24-hour monitoring station for added peace of mind.
Communal features include attractive gardens, a residents' lounge and library, off-street parking, and part-time on-site management. The long lease (around 283 years remaining), EPC B rating and Ultrafast broadband availability make this a comfortable, future-proof choice for over-55s.
Notable costs and considerations are the leasehold terms: an annual service charge of about £3,698.68 and a £250 ground rent. The development records above-average local crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision despite the site’s security features.
