Ready-to-move single‑level home near shops, buses and communal gardens.
One-bedroom first-floor apartment for over‑55s
A well-presented one‑bedroom first-floor apartment arranged for over‑55s living in the sought-after Brownhill area. The home is ready to move into with neutral décor, a bright lounge with a gas fire and a modern fitted kitchen that benefits from good natural light. The bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and the shower room is practical and maintained. Communal facilities are a strong feature — well-kept gardens, residents’ parking and regular social events aimed at supporting independent retirement living.
The setting is convenient: local shops, a bakery, pharmacy and regular bus routes into Blackburn and the Ribble Valley are within easy walking distance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal keep you connected, while nearby walking routes offer everyday exercise and fresh air. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs modest and the EPC is C.
Important practical points are stated plainly: this is a leasehold retirement apartment with 72 years remaining on the lease. That length may restrict mortgage options and some lenders could refuse lending. The property has an annual service charge of about £1,356 and is explicitly for over‑55s, so buyers should check lease terms and finance suitability before viewing.
Overall this is a low‑maintenance, sociable retirement home with nearby amenities and communal support. It suits a buyer seeking easy single‑level living and local community, provided they accept the lease length and associated costs.
