A compact, single-level retirement bungalow designed for easy living in the Wakeford Court development. The double bedroom, generous lounge with French doors and loft storage make everyday life comfortable while the small private garden and communal grounds provide outdoor space without heavy maintenance. The layout is straightforward and suitable for someone wanting single-floor accommodation in a quiet, well-kept setting.
Important ownership details will affect buyers: the property is leasehold with approximately 58 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders impose strict minimum lease terms and could refuse standard lending, so some buyers will need specialist leasehold mortgages or to buy with cash. Annual service charge and ground rent apply and should be factored into ongoing costs.
Practical positives include a warden-assisted development for over-55s, very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and easy access to local amenities. Drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, and the limited lease length restricts mortgage options and resale appeal. This home suits a buyer who prioritises low-maintenance, single-level living and can manage leasehold implications.
Chain-free sale and a modest council tax band make moving straightforward and affordable for the right purchaser. Buyers should obtain specialist legal and mortgage advice early to confirm finance options and to assess the lease and service-charge commitments.
