Quiet, well-presented flat with tidy communal gardens and practical layout.
First-floor retirement flat, chain free
A well-presented first-floor retirement flat offered chain free, tucked to the rear of a popular complex. The light living room, two good-sized bedrooms and integrated-dishwasher kitchen make this an easy-to-manage home for downsizers. Communal grounds are tidy and provide a pleasant outlook.
Practical points include electric storage heating and double glazing installed before 2002. The property is leasehold with 61 years remaining and an average service charge of £3,000 a year; some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend because of the shorter lease term. The building was constructed in the 1980s and walls are likely cavity with no added insulation.
This is a compact home at about 518 sq ft, suitable for someone wanting low-maintenance living rather than a large house. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, but local crime levels are recorded as high and should be considered. The flat could suit a buyer looking to settle in a retirement community with nearby amenities and good local schools within reach.
Minor investment could improve energy performance and modernise finishes; buyers should check lender requirements for the lease length and factor annual service charges into running costs.
