This bright first-floor apartment sits within an exclusive gated development for over-55s, offering low-maintenance living close to the south side of Retford town centre. Recently redecorated throughout and with underfloor heating across the floor, the home feels fresh and comfortable from the moment you enter. The generous 1,037 sqft layout provides a roomy living area and an eye-catching spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine second bedroom — a distinctive feature that gives the property character and flexible use as a bedroom or study.
Outside, well-kept communal gardens and a single allocated parking space provide straightforward practical benefits without onerous upkeep. The development’s secure gated setting and low-crime locality support a calm, community-minded lifestyle. The apartment is offered with no upward chain, which may suit buyers seeking a quick, uncomplicated move.
Practical points for buyers: the property is leasehold and sits within a 55+ gated scheme, so prospective purchasers should confirm lease length and any service or ground rent obligations. The apartment has one bathroom only and the mezzanine bedroom’s open-plan position means reduced privacy and limited headroom compared with a conventional second bedroom. Also note the EPC is reported as C; buyers should verify energy rating documentation during their due diligence.
Overall, this is a roomy, characterful retirement apartment with modern comforts and low external maintenance — a good choice for downsizers who value security, communal gardens and an unusual internal layout that stands out from typical flats.
