Chain-free first-floor flat with balcony and landscaped communal gardens.
Purpose-built retirement apartment, over-60s occupancy condition
A well-presented first-floor retirement apartment in Southgate House, offering low-maintenance living in attractive communal gardens. The bright sitting room opens onto a balcony with garden views, and the layout includes a double bedroom, fitted kitchen and modern shower room — all arranged for comfortable, independent living.
Practical features include 24/7 monitored emergency pull-cord system, off-street parking and communal residents’ lounge and conservatory. The apartment is chain free and sits in a purpose-built development for the over-60s, close to Bury St Edmunds amenities and good transport links to Ipswich and Cambridge.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with 60 years remaining on the lease. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this term length, and purchase requires approval by the housing association. Annual service charge and ground rent apply, so factor ongoing costs into affordability.
Overall this apartment suits downsizers seeking a tidy, secure home with communal facilities and easy upkeep, provided they are comfortable with leasehold tenure and the associated charges.
