Set within the well-kept Morton Court development, this second-floor apartment offers a low-maintenance retirement base with immediate practical benefits: a single integrated garage, a private ground-floor storeroom and communal gardens that are easy to enjoy without heavy upkeep. The layout is traditional and roomy for a two-bedroom flat (approx. 728 sq ft), with a generous living/dining room and a sensible hallway that suits everyday living and visiting family.
The property is offered chain free and with an exceptionally long renewed lease, making ownership straightforward. Its location on Hillmorton Road places shops, cafés and local services within easy walking distance and gives quick access to bus routes and Rugby station for occasional travel. The surrounding area is established and quiet, with well-regarded schools nearby and pleasant canal-side walks at Hillmorton Locks.
Practical downsides are clear and factual: the flat needs renovation throughout, heating is by electric storage heaters, glazing dates from before 2002, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — all of which indicate immediate and medium-term improvement costs. Service charges are roughly £255 per quarter (about £1,020 per year). These factors suit buyers planning a careful refurbishment to modernise heating, insulation and finishes, or those seeking a low-maintenance shell to personalise.
For a buyer seeking a manageable retirement home with storage and parking already included, or an investor prepared to upgrade, this flat represents a solid opportunity in a desirable part of Rugby. Viewing will make the potential and scale of the accommodation clear and help prioritise which improvements to undertake first.
