This well-presented two-bedroom cottage sits on a purpose-built retirement development with wide views across the surrounding countryside and the Vale of the Whitehorse Hills. It offers comfortable, ground-floor social space, two double bedrooms, a shower room and a private patio garden — ideal for someone looking to downsize without giving up outdoor space.
The development is exclusive to over-55s and includes communal gardens, an allotment and a paddock area, plus an on-site resident estate manager for peace of mind. The property is sold with no onward chain and is within easy walking distance of a supermarket, post office, café and pub, making day-to-day shopping and social life convenient.
Practical points are clear: the home is leasehold (118 years remaining from the original term), heated by electric room heaters and has double glazing of unknown fit date. Broadband and mobile signals are average for the area, and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to consider for budget planning.
Overall, this cottage will suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance retirement base in a very affluent, semi-rural setting with strong local amenities. It presents straightforward, comfortable accommodation with communal facilities and attractive countryside outlooks, while requiring acceptance of electric heating and leasehold ownership.
