A vacant, chain-free two-bedroom retirement apartment in Beaufort Court, offered with a guide price of £112,000–£135,000. The flat sits on a generous internal footprint (about 1003 sq ft) and includes a bright conservatory, private roof terrace and access to extensive communal gardens and parking. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, lift, house manager and a 24-hour emergency call system — features suited to buyers aged 55+ seeking onsite support and social facilities.
Internally the layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a large living/dining room with feature fireplace, two double bedrooms both with built-in wardrobes, a fitted kitchen and a three-piece shower room. The kitchen dates from the 1980s and will suit modernisation; flooring and some units show typical wear. The conservatory and terrace deliver good natural light and outdoor space rarely found in retirement apartments.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 63 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders impose strict limits on minimum lease length and may refuse lending, so buyers should check financing options or consider cash purchase. Service charge is approximately £225 pcm (£2,700 pa) with ground rent about £300 pa. Crime levels in the area are reported as high, and the building’s location is in a busy urban neighbourhood close to shops, transport and healthcare.
This apartment offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with communal support and outside space, but the limited lease length and refurbishment needs in the kitchen are material considerations. Early viewing is recommended for buyers who can manage lease implications and who value the onsite facilities and convenient location.
