A compact, chain-free one-bedroom apartment located in a purpose-built block near Eltham town centre, marketed for over‑55s with warden-assisted living. The flat is presented in neutral decor with a modern fitted kitchen and double glazing, making it largely move-in ready for a single occupant or couple.
Residents benefit from communal gardens and parking/courtyard to the front of the building, plus easy access to local shops, transport links and leisure facilities. The lease is exceptionally long (962 years) which removes a typical leasehold concern, and council tax is described as inexpensive.
Notable running costs and limitations are clear: service charges are around £3,000 per year to cover communal maintenance, heating is via electric storage heaters, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The apartment is small (about 510 sq ft) with a modest specification and would suit someone looking to downsize, a retiree wanting managed living, or an investor seeking a straightforward rental proposition.
Buyers should verify ground rent and exact service charge arrangements, confirm suitability of the warden-assisted service for their needs, and note the limited internal space which restricts extensive reconfiguration. Overall this is a practical, low‑hassle retirement option in a well-served urban location.
