Quiet, low-maintenance flat with communal facilities and no onward chain.
Two-bedroom first-floor retirement flat with balcony
A practical two-bedroom first-floor retirement flat in Checkley Court, offered with no upward chain and immediate vacant possession. The layout includes a lounge opening to a balcony, two good-sized bedrooms (main with built-in wardrobes), a shower room and a kitchen with plentiful units — comfortable accommodation arranged over an average-sized 689 sq ft.
The development provides communal benefits valued by many buyers over 60: a residents’ lounge, laundry room, communal gardens and on-site parking. The balcony looks over Walmley Bowling Club and the building sits in a very low-crime, affluent suburb with local shops, health services and public transport nearby.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with 64 years remaining — below many lenders’ preferred thresholds, so some buyers may need a specialist mortgage or cash purchase. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property does not use a communal fuel system. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area.
This is a straightforward, low-maintenance property aimed at someone downsizing or seeking a secure retirement base with communal facilities. It suits buyers who prioritise location, communal amenities and a chain-free purchase, but who are comfortable managing the lease length and electric heating arrangements.
