This two-bedroom maisonette sits within a purpose-built over-55s complex on Highgate Road, offering low-maintenance living with communal facilities designed for convenience. The building provides lifts, a residents' lounge, on-site laundry and communal gardens, with off-street parking and good broadband and mobile signal — practical benefits for independent retirement living.
Internally the apartment is compact (approximately 506 sq ft) with a traditional layout: living room with fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room. Double glazing is installed and heating is by electric storage heaters; the property is supplied by mains electricity (not a communal system). The lease has around 87 years remaining and tenure is leasehold — additional leasehold costs and purchase fees may apply.
Buyers should note material negatives openly: the surrounding area records very high crime and very high deprivation, which may affect personal security and resale. The apartment is small and will suit someone seeking a manageable, single-floor retirement home rather than large family accommodation. The electric storage heating and unknown age of glazing mean heating costs and replacement windows could be future expenses.
Overall this maisonette is aimed at purchasers looking for a ready-made over-55s community with communal support and social spaces, compact living and convenient access to local amenities. It offers practical, low-upkeep accommodation but requires acceptance of the leasehold status, limited internal space and local area challenges.
