A top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment set within a well-kept over-55s development. The flat offers lift access to the second floor, a combined lounge/dining room, a kitchen and a bathroom with a walk-in shower — a practical, manageable layout for single occupants or couples seeking low-maintenance living.
Outside, residents benefit from provided off-street parking and attractive communal gardens that are maintained for shared use. The building is brick-built with double glazing fitted after 2002 and gas central heating to radiators, offering straightforward, familiar systems.
This property is being offered as a 70% shared ownership at £74,500, with a 99-year lease and no onward chain. Service charges average £186.64 pcm (approximately £2,239.68 annually); council tax is very low. These terms suit buyers wanting lower entry costs but who are comfortable with ongoing service charges and shared ownership arrangements.
Buyers should note the apartment retains some 1970s-era fittings and finishes; the internal rooms are described as dated and there is potential for damp in places. The estate sits in an area with higher deprivation indices despite very low local crime and good mobile and broadband connectivity. The flat presents a genuine downsizing opportunity for those willing to update cosmetic elements to their taste.
