Easy-access one-bedroom with communal facilities and excellent transport links.
Ground-floor one-bedroom — easy access for mobility needs
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Cunningham Close offers an easy-access, low-maintenance home for buyers aged 60 and over. The living/dining room receives good natural light, and the double bedroom includes built-in storage—practical features for comfortable day-to-day living.
Residents benefit from communal facilities that support independent living: an on-site house manager, 24-hour emergency call system, residents’ lounge, laundry room, well-kept communal gardens and visitor parking. The service charge is modest at £282.03 (including water), and there is no ground rent. The 99-year lease provides long-term security.
Location is convenient: nearby local shops, regular bus routes and Chadwell Heath station provide straightforward links across the area. The building dates from the 1980s, has double glazing fitted after 2002 and cavity wall insulation (assumed), which help with comfort and running costs.
Practical considerations include electric storage heaters as the main heating source, which can be more costly than gas heating. The apartment is leasehold and marketed specifically for over-60s, which narrows the buyer pool and may affect future resale. Overall this is a well-served, low-upkeep retirement flat suited to someone seeking a secure, community-focused home close to transport and amenities.
