Summary - NORTH GATE COURT 21 SHORTMEAD STREET BIGGLESWADE SG18 0FE
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Refreshed one-bedroom with communal facilities and riverside gardens.
Purpose-built over-60s apartment, chain-free
A purpose-built over-60s apartment in North Gate Court, offered chain-free and recently refreshed with a fresh repaint and new carpets. The first-floor one-bedroom layout includes a living/dining room with balcony access, separate kitchen, bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a shower room — a straightforward, low-maintenance home for independent retired living.
Residents benefit from onsite warden support, communal lounge, laundry, guest suite, residents' parking and landscaped gardens with views over the River Ivel. Practical points include double glazing, an EPC rating of C and off-street parking, all within walking distance of local shops, cafés and bus links.
Be aware of ongoing costs and constraints: ground rent is approximately £730pa and service charge around £260pcm (c. £3,120pa), and the lease has about 108 years remaining. Heating is electric storage heaters (no communal gas), broadband speeds reported as slow, and local crime levels are recorded as very high — factors to consider for safety and running costs.
This apartment suits retirees wanting independent living with community facilities and low internal maintenance. It offers immediate move-in readiness but also clear trade-offs in running costs, heating type and local area safety that should be weighed at viewing.
