Bright, third-floor retirement apartment in the Meads area, arranged around well-kept communal gardens and shared facilities. The generous lounge/dining room and re-fitted kitchen give a comfortable, low-maintenance living layout suited for downsizers who value easy access and community. A lift serves all floors and there is off-street resident and visitor parking.
The apartment is offered chain free on a long lease, providing ownership security for the long term. Practical features include a recently re-fitted kitchen, a modern shower room, built-in storage and Lifeline emergency pull cords in principal rooms. The communal residents’ lounge, laundry and guest room add flexibility for visitors and social occasions.
Be clear about the running costs and services: this is a leasehold property with an average service charge (circa £2,880 pa) and annual ground rent (£350). Heating is by electric night storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher energy bills compared with gas-heated properties. Broadband speeds are reported slow — important if you rely on fast internet for daily life.
Overall this is an appealing, well-maintained retirement apartment for someone seeking a roomy one-bedroom home in a favoured location with communal support and gardens. The long lease and chain-free sale make it straightforward to purchase, while the service charge and electric heating are the main ongoing costs to factor into your budget.
