Second-floor two-bedroom with balcony and communal facilities.
Second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment for over-60s
Designed for over-60s living, this two-bedroom second-floor flat sits within a well-serviced retirement community offering communal lounge, laundry and a resident house manager. The spacious lounge/dining room opens via French-style doors to a balcony, and the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes. Practical features include double glazing, electric night storage heating and an EPC rating of C.
The development provides communal parking and a guest suite for visitors, plus regular social activities in the residents' lounge — appealing for those seeking companionship and low-key maintenance. The long lease (105 years remaining from original grant) gives long-term security, but the property is sold leasehold with an average ground rent of £460.
Important practical points: heating is electric night storage (no gas central heating), and parking is communal rather than allocated. The area records higher crime levels locally, so prospective buyers should satisfy themselves about security and local services. An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the apartment’s size, layout and communal facilities.
