Bright and practical, this one-bedroom retirement flat in Wordsworth Drive offers a low-hassle move for an over-60s buyer wanting communal support and nearby amenities. The first-floor apartment is lift-served and comes with use of a communal lounge, garden and residents/visitor parking — useful for social life and visiting family.
The internal layout is traditional and efficient: entrance hallway with storage, a compact kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern shower room. The block includes security entry and emergency pull cords for added peace of mind. The property is offered chain free and has a good EPC B (82).
Important to note: the lease has about 60 years remaining. This is a material issue — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend until the lease is extended, which will affect buyers who need a mortgage. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas) and the flat is small at approximately 413 sq ft; ideal for single-occupant downsizers but restrictive for those needing more space.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-maintenance retirement home in a well-served area of North Cheam. It will suit a buyer seeking convenience, communal facilities and easy access to local shops and transport, provided they are aware of the lease length and electric heating arrangement.
