A bright one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Custerson Court, a McCarthy & Stone development built in 1995. The layout provides an entrance hall, lounge with French doors, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom across 485 sq ft — compact but practical for single occupancy or downsizers. Lift access to all floors and a resident Development Manager give everyday convenience and reassurance.
Communal facilities include well-kept gardens, a residents’ lounge, communal laundry and a guest suite for visiting family. A 24-hour Appello emergency call system and multiple in-property alarm points are in place for added peace of mind. Double-glazed windows and neutral decoration mean the apartment is largely move-in ready.
Notable running costs include a service charge of £3,460.26 and a ground rent of £514.14, both payable annually; the ground rent is comparatively high. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas), which can raise energy bills compared with gas-heated properties. The lease is recorded as 125 years from 1995 (seller details state about 94 years remaining) — buyers should confirm exact remaining term and any event fees before commitment.
Location benefits include excellent mobile signal, average broadband speeds, and proximity to local shops, healthcare and public transport in Saffron Walden. The development sits in an affluent area but local crime is reported as above average, so viewing and local checks are advised to assess suitability for your needs.
