A bright one-bedroom flat within a purpose-built over-60s development, offering a practical base close to Wembley Park amenities and transport. The apartment has a spacious reception room, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a modern-style kitchen and a clean bathroom — all arranged over 514 sq ft on a single level with lift access.
The development includes communal gardens, an on-site building manager and off-street parking offered on a first-come, first-served basis, which adds day-to-day convenience. The long lease and double glazing (installed since 2002) are useful ownership features in a recently built block (2003–2006).
There are some material costs and limitations to note. Service charges are high (£4,004) and ground rent is significant (£787), which will affect running costs. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, and broadband speeds are only average. The area scores high for crime and is classified as deprived — buyers should consider local safety and community factors.
This flat suits a buyer looking for a low-maintenance retirement home with easy access to shops and transport. It offers comfortable living now with potential to personalise the kitchen and finishes, but budget for ongoing service charges and higher utility costs when assessing affordability.
