This one-bedroom retirement apartment occupies a first-floor position with a balcony that looks directly onto the River Thames, offering a calm outlook and plenty of natural light. The generous living/dining room (23'9" x 10'6") gives clear space for sitting and dining, and the fitted kitchen and modern walk-in shower room mean the flat is ready for immediate occupation.
The development benefits from well-kept communal gardens, a secure entrance with lift access and communal seating/kitchenette — practical features for independent retirees seeking sociable shared spaces. Double glazing helps with comfort and noise control; electric room heaters provide the main heating source, so running costs will depend on electricity tariffs.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 101 years remaining, a service charge of about £3,000 per year, and parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The local area shows higher-than-average crime and deprivation statistics, which should be considered alongside the riverside setting and nearby amenities.
This flat suits buyers looking to downsize into a riverside retirement setting with immediate availability and minimal internal works. It is best for those prioritising location, communal facilities and a low-maintenance home rather than low ongoing service costs or guaranteed parking.
