Summary - MILL VALE LODGE 11 GUITHAVON STREET WITHAM CM8 1YH
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free retirement flat near Witham High Street with communal gardens and amenities.
First-floor one-bedroom over-55s apartment
A compact one-bedroom first-floor apartment in an over-55s development, offered chain free and conveniently located a short walk from Witham High Street. The building benefits from well-kept communal gardens, a residents' lounge, laundry room and an available guest suite — suited to someone seeking low-maintenance retirement living close to local shops and services.
Inside, the layout is straightforward: entrance hall with a large storage cupboard, a 14' lounge/dining room, separate kitchen, a generous bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom. UPVC windows help reduce maintenance; the property is presented as a tidy, economical retirement flat suitable for a single occupant or couple.
Important: the lease has 61 years remaining. This is a material issue — many mortgage lenders will refuse lending on leases of this length, which may restrict buyer finance options and affect resale value. Buyers should obtain specialist leasehold advice and confirm lending criteria before committing.
Additional practical points: there is no private garden and broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent. The area is classed with higher local crime levels; prospective buyers should factor local safety and community services into their decision.
