Manageable one-bedroom retirement flat with communal gardens and a cosy lounge.
Ground-floor retirement flat — accessible and easy to manage
A well-maintained ground-floor retirement flat in a peaceful development, this one-bedroom home offers manageable living with pleasant communal gardens and shared lounges. The 475 sq ft layout is straightforward and accessible, with a cosy lounge featuring a feature fireplace and easy access to outdoor communal space — ideal for someone looking to downsize without losing a sense of home.
Practical details suit a retirement buyer: electric storage heaters provide heating, the property is double glazed (installation date unknown), and the 100-year lease provides long-term security. Council tax is low and the area benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low crime, making day-to-day life comfortable and connected.
The flat is presented with dated decor and will suit someone prepared to refresh finishes to their taste; the storage heating and electric-fuel system may not suit buyers wanting gas central heating. The development is in a comfortable, affluent area with good local amenities and transport links, offering a friendly community environment.
Overall this is a practical, ground-floor retirement flat that balances convenience, community and manageable running costs. It will appeal to buyers seeking an accessible, low-maintenance home within a supportive communal setting, with scope to personalise the interior.
