Chain-free one-bedroom with warden support and parking.
One double bedroom with fitted wardrobes
This one-bedroom retirement flat in Godfreys Mews offers a compact, low-maintenance home for someone over 60 wanting a straightforward move. The apartment includes a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a recently updated shower room, and a living room with a feature fire surround. There is off-street parking and access to communal gardens, a residents’ lounge and kitchen.
Warden-assisted facilities, an emergency pull cord system and a communal lift provide added peace of mind and daily convenience for residents. The building has good mobile and broadband connectivity and an EPC rating of C, making it economical to heat and use.
Important practical points: the lease has 62 years remaining and many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse finance on this basis. Service charge is £257.05 per month (about £3,084.60 annually) and ground rent is £147.44 every six months. The property is offered chain free but sits in an area with very high recorded crime — buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
Overall, the flat suits a buyer seeking a manageable, social retirement setting with on-site support. It also presents short-lease considerations and ongoing costs that must be factored into affordability and future resale or mortgageability plans.
