A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built retirement block, arranged for independent living for over-60s. The lounge opens directly onto the communal garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The layout is compact and low-maintenance, with a small fitted kitchen off the lounge and a walk-in shower room.
Practical features include an emergency assistance call facility, double glazing, off-street parking and communal amenities such as a residents’ lounge, laundry room and guest suites. The flat is close to Stoke Road shops and services, and is offered with no onward chain for a straightforward purchase.
Buyers should note material limitations: the lease has 59 years remaining, which will make mortgage finance difficult or impossible with many lenders. Service charges and ground rent are payable (approximately £2,626.92 and £455.44 per year respectively) and you should verify current figures with the managing agent. Heating is by electric storage/panel heaters and there is no gas supply.
This property suits someone seeking a compact, low-upkeep home in a retirement setting, or a cash buyer who can accept the short lease and communal costs. Interested parties should check lease terms, lender acceptability and the working condition of services before committing.
