Summary - 32 BENNETT COURT LETCHWORTH GARDEN CITY SG6 3WA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Easy, supported retirement living close to town amenities and transport links.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, chain free and vacant possession
A well-presented one-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Letchworth Garden City, offered chain free with vacant possession. The building provides lift access to all levels and a concierge-style environment with an on-site house manager and 24-hour careline — useful for independent living with added reassurance. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest room-for-rent, laundry room and well-kept gardens, giving social space without garden maintenance worries.
The apartment is compact (approximately 453 sq ft) and designed for ease of use: single-level living, fitted kitchen with white goods included, built-in wardrobe and an emergency alarm fitted in each room. Practical features aimed at mobility needs include an on-site charge point for mobility scooters and off-street communal parking. The lease has around 101 years remaining, so long lease security is in place.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive to run than gas systems. Ground rent is quoted at £700, which is high compared with typical retirement schemes and may add to annual running costs; further service/maintenance charges are likely and should be checked. The area data flags higher local crime levels despite the town’s overall affluent classification, so prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on safety and security measures.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a supported retirement community close to town amenities and transport links. It offers immediate occupation without chain delays, but buyers should budget for ongoing leasehold costs and potentially higher energy bills due to electric heating.
