This top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment occupies a central Shenfield position, around half a mile from Shenfield Station and the High Street. The building offers communal facilities—lounge, laundry, guest room—and a well-kept landscaped garden that provides pleasant outlooks from the living room. The property is chain free and sold via online auction under secure-sale terms.
The flat is small (approx. 355 sq ft) and requires full modernisation throughout. Accommodation includes an entrance hall, rear-facing living room with kitchenette, shower room in wet-room style, and a bedroom with built-in wardrobe. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property uses mains electricity; there is no communal central heating system.
Buyers should note material costs and ongoing liabilities: the lease has about 85 years remaining and will need prompt attention, the annual service charge is high (£4,612) and the annual ground rent is £310. Parking is unallocated residents’ permit parking. The property is suitable for a downsizer or retired buyer willing to refurbish and manage lease renewal and service costs.
This apartment offers convenience and community in a favoured Shenfield location but is best viewed as a renovation opportunity with immediate lease and service-charge considerations. No onward chain may speed completion for a prepared purchaser.
