The development includes communal facilities that suit social retirement living: a lounge and conservatory, communal laundry, hairdressing salon, guest suites and landscaped gardens. Off‑street communal parking is available and the building dates from the early 1990s with double glazing already installed. The flat is offered with no forward chain, making it straightforward to progress quickly.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold property with about 103 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £4,377 plus ground rent of about £284.61. Heating is by electric storage heaters which can mean higher running costs; the kitchen and finishes show a 1990s style and may benefit from modernization depending on buyer preference. This is a probate sale and paperwork is limited — prospective buyers should carry out their own enquiries and seek legal advice before purchase.
Overall, the flat will suit someone seeking a central, sociable retirement base with good communal support and manageable living space, aware of the service charge and leasehold considerations. The restricted covenant requiring residents to be over 60 makes it targeted specifically at downsizers or retirees.
