This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home recently refurbished throughout. With fresh carpets, a refitted bathroom and a modern kitchen, it’s ready to move into and suits someone looking to downsize without immediate work.
The property sits in a managed block with front and rear communal gardens and a small designated planted/gravel section to the front. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, double glazing is installed, and there is useful built-in storage plus an additional separate cupboard for belongings.
The Home for Life (Homewise) Lifetime Lease option is available to purchasers aged 60+, typically reducing the upfront purchase price (illustrative Lifetime Lease price shown as £89,500 against a market value of £135,000). Alternatively the property can be bought at full market value by any eligible buyer. Leasehold tenure with c.124 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,434 per year applies.
Important practical points: the flat is small (c.377 sq ft) so it suits a single occupant or couple who prioritise low maintenance rather than large living space. The local area is deprived with a higher-than-average crime level; buyers should consider location factors and confirm suitability before committing.
