Summary - Flat 7, 13 Russell Hill CR8 2EY
2 bed 2 bath Ground Flat
Ground-floor two-bed retirement flat with parking and a Homewise Lifetime Lease example price.
Chain free ground-floor apartment with Juliet balcony and communal garden views
A bright, chain-free ground-floor apartment designed for easy, low-maintenance living. The open-plan kitchen and lounge open to a Juliet balcony with pleasant views over the communal gardens, and bedroom one benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower. Covered allocated parking is included, and the property sits in a modern block constructed 2007–2011.
This home is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £215,000 for buyers aged 60+, compared with the full market price of £325,000. The Lifetime Lease lets qualifying purchasers buy a share (up to 50%) to reduce up-front cost; actual price depends on age and circumstances. The flat remains a standard leasehold with 107 years remaining and an annual service charge (approx. £3,142).
Practical points to note: heating and hot water are provided via a community biomass scheme so control and costs differ from individual gas/electric systems. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and mobile signal is average. For someone looking to downsize into a manageable, modern apartment with outside space and parking, this offers genuine convenience — but factor in service charges, leasehold status and utility arrangements before deciding.
