Secure, low-maintenance living with onsite support and communal facilities.
First-floor retirement apartment with lift access
This one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Custerson Court suits someone looking to downsize without losing convenience. The development, built by McCarthy & Stone, offers lift access, a resident development manager, a 24-hour emergency call system and communal amenities including a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry and gardens.
The flat is an average-sized, open-plan layout with good natural light from large double-glazed windows and a practical kitchen and bathroom. Interiors present a mostly contemporary finish but show some wear and would benefit from light modernisation to refresh carpets and fixtures.
Running costs and tenure are important considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the service charge and ground rent are comparatively high. Lease details should be checked carefully before purchase — documentation includes both c.94 years remaining and an alternative figure of 86 years.
Overall this property offers secure, low-maintenance retirement living in central Saffron Walden with useful communal support and nearby amenities, but buyers should budget for service charges, ground rent and possible updates to internal decor and heating.
