Comfortable one-bedroom for independent over-60s near shops and transport.
Chain-free one-bedroom independent living apartment
This first-floor one-bedroom apartment at Potters Court is designed for independent over-60s seeking a compact, low-maintenance home near Darkes Lane amenities. The bright lounge and bedroom face the communal gardens and benefit from recently fitted triple glazing and a replacement hot water cylinder. The walk-in double shower and fitted kitchen with appliances make day-to-day living straightforward.
Residents have access to communal facilities including a lounge, laundry, guest suite, gardens and on-site manager (Mon–Fri). A 24-hour emergency call system and key-fob entry add practical security and peace of mind. Private residents’ parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Important practical points: the property uses Economy 7 electric heating and convector heaters (no gas), and broadband fibre availability is limited. Service charge and ground rent apply — circa £2,924pa service charge plus £350pa ground rent, and a 1% sinking fund is payable on resale. The lease has approximately 101 years remaining and the sale is offered chain free.
Buyers should note the apartment is small (approx. 425 sq ft) and the local area records higher crime levels and a medium flood risk. These factors, together with the service costs and electric heating, are relevant when assessing running costs and suitability. For a downsizer seeking convenient shops, transport links and retirement-focused facilities, this is a practical, move-in-ready option with communal support.
