This first-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat in Twelve Trees House offers a ready-to-move-in base for over‑60s seeking independent living with on-call support. The interior has been newly re-decorated and carpeted, and the living room opens onto a balcony that overlooks well-kept communal gardens — a pleasant spot for morning light and fresh air.
Practical features include mirror-fronted fitted wardrobes, an emergency call system with integrated smoke alarms, and a mobility scooter store. Residents can use the communal lounge with fitted kitchen and a guest suite for visiting friends or family. A house manager is available Monday to Friday, 08:00–14:00.
Important points for buyers: the flat is leasehold (111 years remaining) with an average service charge of £2,868 and ground rent of £496 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The local area is classified as deprived with above-average crime — worth factoring into location suitability and insurance costs.
For someone prioritising low-maintenance, community-focused retirement living with modern finishes and good digital connectivity, this flat provides a practical, secure option. Verify lease details, service inclusions and any appliance warranties before purchase.
