A well-presented one-bedroom apartment on Fire Fly Avenue, offered with no onward chain and a long lease (992 years). The apartment is compact but bright, with an open-plan living area, modern integrated kitchen and a private balcony that extends usable living space. Off-street parking and an EPC B add practical value for low-maintenance living.
This property is being marketed as suitable for those aged 60+ through the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease: typical savings range 20–50%. A guide Lifetime Lease price for eligible buyers is £93,750 (market value £140,000); the actual price depends on age, circumstances and the percentage of value you choose to safeguard. Service charge details are to be confirmed.
Buyers should note material considerations honestly: the local area records higher crime and greater deprivation than average, and the apartment uses electric room heaters as the main heating source. Ground rent is listed at £380 per year; tenure specifics should be confirmed by a solicitor. The flat is best suited to downsizers or retirees wanting a low-upkeep base rather than those needing large living space or full central heating.
If you are over 60 and want a lower-cost route into a modern retirement apartment, this offers clear potential. If you are not eligible for the Lifetime Lease option, check the full market price and confirm all running costs and tenure matters before proceeding.
