Apartment 26,Chartwell Lodge,Bishops Down Road,TUNBRIDGE WELLS,TN4 8AF
TN4 8AF
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Turnkey first-floor retirement flat with on-site manager and communal gardens.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with lift access
This well-presented first-floor retirement apartment at Chartwell Lodge offers low‑maintenance living for the over‑55s, recently redecorated with new carpets and an upgraded shower room. The sitting room and adjacent dining area provide flexible space — the dining room could easily serve as a second bedroom or study — and the compact kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances for immediate move‑in. Lift access, a lodge manager and a 24‑hour Appello careline give useful on‑site reassurance.
Outside, the development is attractively maintained with parterre-style communal gardens, designated seating areas and a guest suite for visiting family. Resident and visitor parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and there is a designated shelter for mobility scooters. Communal facilities include a lounge, laundry and regular social activities which suit someone seeking companionship and convenience.
Practical running costs and legal points to note: service charge is £2,846.10 and ground rent is £811.26 per year. The lease started in 2007 and shows approximately 108 years remaining; the listing also records the tenure as freehold which appears inconsistent and should be checked by a buyer or solicitor. Council Tax Band D is £2,233.93 per year. The apartment’s internal footprint is modest at c.592 sq ft and best suited to single occupancy or a couple seeking downsized, manageable accommodation.
Overall, the apartment is a tidy, turnkey option within a well-serviced retirement community. Buyers who prioritise communal support, social facilities and a low‑upkeep home will find genuine value here; those seeking large, free‑standing gardens or guaranteed parking may prefer to consider alternatives.
