A bright ground-floor retirement flat arranged for over-60s, offering two generous double bedrooms and direct access to well-kept communal gardens. The living/dining room opens via patio doors to a private patio; there’s also a large hallway storage cupboard and a refitted shower room. The layout is practical and easy to manage at about 735 sq ft.
The development provides strong on-site support: house manager, residents’ lounge, guest bedrooms, lift access and a 24-hour emergency call system. Located a short walk from Three Bridges station and local amenities, the flat suits buyers looking to downsize without losing convenience or community.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity; broadband speeds are reported as slow. The property is leasehold with a remaining term of around 110 years, an annual service charge of approximately £3,400 and a ground rent of £900 per year. EPC C and Council Tax Band C.
This home is best for downsizers seeking a low-stairs, community-focused setting close to transport links. It offers comfortable, secure living with communal facilities, but buyers should budget for service charges, ground rent and potential energy costs due to electric heating.
