Quiet, ground-floor one-bedroom in a purpose-built retirement development close to Romford town centre. The flat has been recently renovated with a new fitted kitchen, double glazing and a comfortable living room, offering straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation for someone aged 65+.
The building is designed for later living: gated entry, emergency pull cords linked to 24-hour care, an on-site manager, communal lounge, laundry and well-kept communal gardens. Its town-centre position places shops, bus and rail links within easy walking distance, useful for limited mobility or no-car households.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the lease has about 75 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend — and the property is sold leasehold with a current ground rent of £135. Heating is by electric room heaters and the area records very high crime and elevated deprivation indices, which may affect personal security perceptions and resale value.
Overall this is a compact, newly refreshed retirement flat offering convenience and communal support. It suits a downsizer seeking a manageable, centrally located home, provided they accept leasehold constraints and local area factors.
