Low-maintenance one-bed flat in a sociable over-56 complex with communal facilities.
Purpose-built over-56 block with communal laundry and reception areas
This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-56 block offers a compact, low-maintenance home for someone looking to downsize or simplify. The reception room opens to a fitted kitchen; the bedroom includes a fitted wardrobe. On-site communal laundry, reception space and landscaped gardens add practical conveniences and social opportunities. The building has safety features including an intercom and pull-cord alarms in each room.
The flat is small (approximately 431 sq ft) and will suit someone seeking a manageable footprint rather than generous living space. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is on an electricity main fuel supply; buyers should expect running costs typical of electrically heated flats. The apartment is leasehold and aimed at residents aged 56+, so prospective purchasers should check lease terms and any service charges.
Location advantages include easy access to local shops, health services and public transport links. However, the immediate area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, factors that may affect resale or rental demand. The EPC is C and council tax band is B. Overall this is a practical, sociable retirement-style home for someone prioritising convenience and community over space and long-term heating efficiency.
