A first-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in central Witham, set within well-kept communal gardens and offering resident parking. The apartment is chain-free and suits over-60s seeking a low-maintenance home close to shops and transport links on Witham High Street. Its compact layout—living room, separate kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and storage—works for single occupants or couples downsizing.
Practical aspects: the property uses electric storage heaters and double glazing, with an average-sized footprint of about 571 sq ft. There is an ongoing service charge (£1,500 pa) and a small ground rent (£200 pa). The building appears structurally sound and modern, built c. 1983–1990, with neat communal grounds and off-street parking.
Important lease and lending note: the lease has approximately 58 years remaining. This may restrict mortgage options for some buyers and could require lease-extension costs or specialist lending. Also note the area has a very high recorded crime level — buyers should consider security needs and insurance implications.
This flat offers low-effort living in a central, well-served location with garden outlook and parking, but buyers must factor in lease length, service charges, electric heating and local crime statistics when deciding to view.
