This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat in Avongrove Court offers comfortable, ready-to-move-in accommodation for the over-55s. Recently renovated throughout, the property includes a new fitted kitchen and a re-fitted shower room, making it suitable for immediate occupation. At around 905 sq ft it feels generous for a retirement apartment and benefits from double glazing and an energy rating of D-63.
Set within a well-maintained brick complex, the flat overlooks communal gardens and has allocated off-street parking. On-site facilities and communal areas add convenience and social opportunities, while part-exchange is available and the sale is chain-free. The lease extends to approximately 100 years, providing long-term security for buyers.
Buyers should note the ongoing costs: an above-average service charge (two years already paid) and a higher-than-typical ground rent of £880. Heating is by electric storage radiators, which can increase running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The surrounding area records higher-than-average local crime levels, which some purchasers may wish to consider.
Overall this flat suits a purchaser seeking a spacious, low-maintenance retirement home in a purpose-built complex with social facilities and parking. It offers convenience and immediate occupation but carries noticeable service and running costs that should be factored into affordability calculations.
