Chain-free 1-bed retirement flat with communal facilities and private patio.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with private patio door
Set on the desirable ground floor of Wavertree Court, this one-bedroom retirement flat offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Horley town centre. The apartment benefits from a private patio door onto well-kept communal gardens, off-street parking, and a spacious open-plan living area suited to a single occupant or couple.
Wavertree Court is aimed at over-60s and provides extensive shared facilities including a subsidised restaurant, guest suite, buggy store, 24/7 on-site manager and communal halls. The property is chain-free, has an EPC B and a manageable 106-year lease remaining, making it straightforward to move into or let within a retirement community setting.
Buyers should note the high annual service charge of £9,900 which funds the wide range of communal services and staffing; ground rent is £202 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, and the tenure is leasehold, so prospective purchasers should confirm lease details and charges with their solicitor.
This flat suits someone seeking the security and social benefits of a retirement complex with easy access to local shops, bus routes and Horley amenities. It represents convenience and community living in a modern, well-maintained development, but with ongoing communal costs that must be factored into affordability calculations.
