A bright top-floor apartment designed for over-55s, this two-double-bedroom flat offers generous internal space of approximately 864 sq ft. Large rooflights and multiple windows flood the open-plan living/dining room and bedrooms with natural light, while extensive eaves storage keeps living areas uncluttered. The fitted galley kitchen, built-in wardrobes and communal security entry provide practical, low-maintenance living.
Set in a small block of only five properties with a share of freehold and an allocated parking space directly in front, the location is convenient for the town centre, canal path and rail links. The layout suits buyers seeking easy access to amenities, gentle community living and a manageable property footprint without a private garden.
Buyers should note this is a top-floor apartment reached by stairs (no lift) and aimed at the over-55s market. Heating is electric and the EPC currently rates C (76), so prospective purchasers may wish to consider longer-term energy upgrades. Annual service charges are typically under £1,500 and council tax sits at a moderate level, which supports predictable ongoing costs.
There is no onward chain, making for a straightforward purchase for downsizers or investors aiming for a low-maintenance rental/retirement-let. The apartment’s generous square footage and strong natural light create clear potential for cosmetic updating to suit personal tastes or boost rental appeal.
