Important financial and technical details you should note: the property is leasehold (approx. 107 years remaining) with an annual service charge of about £3,900 and ground rent around £400. Heating is by electric room heaters and the apartment has double glazing; this means heating costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Prospective purchasers should verify lease and service charge details with their solicitor.
Overall this apartment suits a downsizer or retiree seeking a safe, community-focused home near amenities and transport links. It offers immediate move-in condition with communal support but carries typical leasehold running costs and electric heating to consider.
