Summary - 11 Merchant Way NR6 5HS
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Low-maintenance over-55s bungalow with conservatory and communal support.
Purpose-built over-55s detached bungalow with emergency response system
Quiet, low-maintenance living in a purpose-built over-55s development: this detached two-bedroom bungalow offers independent retirement living with communal facilities and a built-in emergency response system. The conservatory and enclosed, slabbed garden give a pleasant additional space for light and easy outdoor care, while a private driveway adds convenience.
The interior provides straightforward, traditional accommodation with a lounge/diner, kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms across approximately 528 sq ft. The presentation is clean and largely move-in ready, though decor and some fittings (fireplace, kitchen finishes) reflect a mid‑20th‑century suburban style and could benefit from cosmetic updating to suit personal tastes.
Practical points for buyers: the property is leasehold with around 87 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,638.41 and ground rent of £317.66 (both subject to review). Heating is by electric radiators/room heaters, which may be more costly than gas alternatives. The development provides management services, a residents’ lounge and communal gardens — useful for socialising and support — but the local area records above-average crime levels, which prospective purchasers should consider.
This bungalow is best suited to buyers seeking a low‑upkeep retirement home in a well-managed community, who prioritise convenience, safety features and communal amenities over size or modern mechanical systems. An internal viewing is recommended to assess layout and scope for any desired improvements.
