A top-floor, over-55s apartment in Low Fell offering low-maintenance living next to Kells Lane Park. The 70% shared-ownership layout keeps purchase price low, and the flat is newly renovated with a modern shower room and fitted kitchen — ready to move into.
The building is purpose-built with lift access, secure communal entrance, underground parking and well-kept communal gardens, making day-to-day life straightforward. The living room is dual-aspect with a bay window; both bedrooms have fitted storage and the flat benefits from double glazing throughout.
Important practical points: the property is sold on a leasehold with around 63 years remaining. That limited lease length may restrict mortgage options and could require future lease extension costs. Heating is electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can affect running costs for some buyers.
This apartment will suit buyers looking to downsize into a comfortable, centrally placed retirement community with local shops, cafes and transport links on the doorstep. Early checks with lenders and clarification of shared-ownership terms are recommended before proceeding.
