Set in a purpose-built over-55s development on Recorder Road, this first-floor two-bedroom flat offers surprisingly generous living rooms and direct views over landscaped communal grounds towards the River Wensum. Quiet communal facilities — lounge, laundry, guest room, lift and an on-site manager — support independent city-centre living while the flat remains chain free for a quicker move.
The accommodation is presented in good order with double glazing and electric storage heating throughout, a modern shower room and a practical kitchen. The living/dining room is the standout social space with river-facing windows, and both bedrooms are comfortable for furniture. Communal grounds are well maintained and there is off-street parking behind secure electric gates.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with around 97 years remaining; the service charge and ground rent are above average and will be ongoing costs to budget for. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas or central heating) and the flat is compact at about 506 sq ft, so it suits downsizers seeking low-maintenance city living rather than those needing large private garden space.
This apartment will appeal to independent retirees who want a secure, sociable base in Norwich city centre with easy access to shops, riverside walks and public transport. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the river aspect and communal facilities in person.
