Summary - 46 Dovecote Meadow, Fordfield Road, SUNDERLAND SR4 0FA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Secure independent living with on-site amenities and lift access for older buyers.
75% shared ownership; additional rent and service charges apply
Set within the purpose-built Dovecote Meadows complex, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living for buyers seeking independence with on-site support. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and large bedroom are bright and useable; fittings are modern and the property benefits from double glazing and an EPC B rating. Lift access, emergency pull cords and communal facilities (restaurant, hairdresser, support office) give added reassurance.
The home is sold as shared ownership (you own 75%), with additional rent and service charges payable; leasehold with about 114 years remaining. The apartment footprint is compact at roughly 573 sq ft, so it suits downsizers, retirees or an investor looking for modest-size accommodation rather than larger-family living. Communal heating is provided via a mains gas community scheme.
Practical advantages include off-street and visitor parking, good mobile signal and fast broadband, and well-maintained communal areas. Be aware the surrounding locality scores high for deprivation and local crime levels are above average, which may concern some buyers. The property is presented in a serviceable modern condition but is compact and on a retirement/assisted-living site, which carries occupation and management rules.
This is a sensible, low-fuss option for someone prioritising safety, onsite community amenities and manageable upkeep. It will suit those who value communal support and convenience; buyers should budget for ongoing rent/service payments and consider the shared-ownership tenure when assessing long-term costs.
