Summary - NORTH GATE COURT 38 SHORTMEAD STREET BIGGLESWADE SG18 0FE
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free third-floor flat with lift, balcony and communal facilities.
Balcony with River Ivel views
A bright third-floor retirement apartment with lift access and a riverside balcony, offered chain-free for a straightforward move. North Gate Court provides warden-controlled security and communal facilities designed for independent older residents, including a lounge, laundry, gardens and a bookable guest bedroom for visitors.
The one-bedroom flat measures about 469 sq ft and has a well-proportioned double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a reception room that opens onto the balcony overlooking the River Ivel. The layout is traditional and easy to manage, well suited to downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home in town.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property runs on mains electricity (no communal gas), broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the building is leasehold with about 108 years remaining. The immediate area records a higher crime level than average, so prospective buyers should consider security and lifestyle implications.
Overall this apartment offers a comfortable, secure retirement setting with pleasant riverside outlook and ready access to local shops and transport. It will particularly suit someone seeking community amenities and single-floor living with lift access, but buyers should factor in running costs, heating type and the leasehold nature of the tenure.
