A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment arranged for practical, low-maintenance living at The Herons. The flat is compact (approximately 434 sq ft) and sensibly laid out, with a cozy bedroom, modest fitted kitchen and a bright living room that benefits from natural light.
The development offers communal conveniences aimed at older residents: a welcoming lounge, well-kept landscaped gardens, on-site laundry, a guest room and limited off-street parking (six spaces). Excellent local amenities and transport links into central London put shops, cafes, leisure facilities and healthcare within easy reach. Carpets, curtains and light fittings are included, and there is no ground rent.
Buyers should note the higher-than-average service charge (£3,779.40 pa) and the compact internal size — this property is best suited to someone seeking convenience rather than large living spaces. The lease is long (around 150 years remaining) and there is no flood risk, but communal living means shared rules and some ongoing service costs to budget for.
