This well-presented one-bedroom, over‑55s apartment sits in a distinctive Tudor‑style block close to Godmanchester town centre and amenities. The flat has been redecorated throughout with new 80% wool carpets and a refitted kitchen, offering a comfortable, move‑in ready home for someone looking to downsize.
Residents benefit from communal facilities tailored to retirement living: a residents’ lounge with garden access, guest suite, communal laundry, hairdressers on site, lift to all floors and a 24‑hour emergency call system. Allocated off‑street parking and pleasant grounds with river and Chinese Bridge views add to the appeal.
Important practical points are plain: the property is leasehold with approximately 61 years remaining on the lease, a ground rent of £195 per year and a service charge around £3,660 per year. Lenders commonly refuse mortgages where leases are this short, so buyers should check financing options and seek solicitor verification of lease details before proceeding.
The apartment is heated by electric storage heaters and has a C/72 energy rating. It is chain free and newly redecorated, making it suitable for buyers seeking easy‑care retirement accommodation close to local shops, healthcare and good transport links. However, the high service charge and limited lease term are material considerations for long‑term ownership or resale value.
