This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment is part of an assisted-living development for over-55s, offering low-maintenance, accessible living just a short walk from Dereham town centre. Built in 2018, the home has an open-plan kitchen/living area, a double bedroom and an easy-care front courtyard, plus attractive communal gardens and a community lounge and laundry.
The property is offered as 75% shared ownership (price reflects a 75% share of a £180,000 valuation) with 118 years remaining on the lease. Heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators and the apartment includes an emergency alarm system. Resident permit parking and a small unallocated car park are available on site.
Important practical details: annual service charges are approximately £2,052 with an additional sinking fund contribution of about £312 per year. The property is leasehold and further costs (lease packs, conveyancing) will apply. The area shows higher-than-average local deprivation and recorded crime levels are very high; prospective buyers should factor local safety and community conditions into their decision.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a manageable, community-oriented retirement setting close to town amenities, rather than someone seeking rural tranquillity or complete independence from communal fees. No onward chain means a straightforward purchase timetable for the successful buyer.
