Top-floor, ready-to-move retirement flat close to Hatfield town centre.
Recently refurbished top-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A bright, recently refurbished two-bedroom top-floor retirement apartment presented for the over-55s. The open-plan reception and new fitted kitchen give a fresh, low-maintenance feel while communal facilities—including a residents’ lounge, laundry, gardens, guest accommodation and onsite warden—support independent living.
Practical positives include lift access to the top floor, off-street communal parking and double glazing. At about 582 sq ft, the layout is compact and efficient, suited to downsizers wanting proximity to Hatfield town centre and The Galleria.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has around 62 years remaining, which may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering finance. The property is electric-heated via storage heaters and carries an annual service charge of about £2,880; ground rent is a nominal £1. These factors affect affordability and resale/mortgageability and should be verified with a solicitor and lender prior to offer.
Overall, this is a ready-to-move-in retirement apartment for someone seeking convenience, communal support and a recently modernised interior, but buyers must take specialist mortgage and leasehold advice because of the limited lease term.
