Comfortable, low-maintenance living in a purpose-built over-55s courtyard development. This neatly renovated two-bedroom bungalow has been refreshed throughout with new carpets, upgraded electric heaters, double glazing and a fitted breakfast kitchen. The single-storey layout and ground-floor shower room suit those seeking easy access and manageable accommodation.
The property sits quietly overlooking well-kept communal gardens and benefits from a small private patio accessed from the lounge. Off-street communal parking is available close by, and nearby shops, bus routes and Bingham town centre are within walking distance. The development also provides communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry and a maintained courtyard ideal for summer socialising.
Practical details important to buyers: this is a leasehold retirement property with a long lease (about 959 years), a service charge of £2,104.32 per year (covers garden maintenance, building insurance, communal services and 24-hour emergency pull-cord) and a nominal ground rent of £1. Heating is electric storage/heater-based, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. Overall the bungalow is well-suited to a single person or couple seeking a tidy, easy-to-manage home in a very low-crime, affluent suburb.
Viewed realistically, this is a compact home with no large private garden or exceptional views; it offers convenience, independence and communal support rather than extensive outdoor space or significant future extension potential.
