A compact, purpose-built one-bedroom retirement flat in Catalina Court, presented in reasonable decorative order and suited to a single occupant or couple aged 55+. The building offers practical communal amenities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, lift access, personal alarm in each flat and shared rear gardens with seating.
The apartment has a contemporary fitted kitchen, a shower room, double glazing and a bay in the reception that improves natural light. Transport links are good — local buses, the tram at Harrington Road and Norwood Junction station are close — and broadband and mobile signal are both strong.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is leasehold with about 61 years remaining and mortgage lenders may refuse lending against a short lease. Flats in the development cannot be privately let and occupiers must be 55 or over. Service charges are circa £3,300pa and crime levels in the area are above average; the wider neighbourhood is described as very deprived.
This flat will suit someone looking to downsize into a low‑maintenance retirement setting with on-site support and communal facilities. It offers convenience and security but requires buyers to be comfortable with the lease length, service costs and the local area profile.
