This two-bedroom retirement flat sits on the first floor of a modern block in north Burgess Hill, designed for low-maintenance living close to town. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen creates a bright, flexible main space with wood-effect flooring and double glazing. Off-street residents’ parking and a communal garden add practical convenience for everyday life.
The apartment is compact at about 496 sq ft, aimed at buyers seeking downsized accommodation or buy-to-let investors targeting the 55+ market. The 55+ age restriction makes the block quieter and more community-focused. The lease has 112 years remaining, with a below-average service charge (about £972 pa) and a modest ground rent (£118 pa).
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be less efficient and more costly than gas heating. Private outdoor space is limited to small front planting and communal grounds only. The flat is leasehold — purchasers should budget for possible leasehold-related costs (e.g., legal/administration fees and any future service charge changes).
Location is a clear strength: roughly one mile from Burgess Hill town centre with shops, cinema, restaurants and a regular rail service to London and Gatwick. For a buyer seeking an affordable, low-upkeep retirement base close to amenities, this apartment offers straightforward, well-presented accommodation with ready access to local services and transport.
