A top-floor, two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Witham offering lift access and a bright lounge/diner. Set within a managed over-55s complex, the home benefits from communal lounge, laundry, hairdresser and a pleasant communal garden with gated parking nearby. At around 668 sq ft this is one of the larger two-bedroom flats in Newland Court and is well suited to those who want central convenience and community facilities on site.
Practical points are clear: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with 59 years remaining. The service charge is relatively high at £6,480 per year and the short lease may restrict mortgage options for some buyers—seek specialist mortgage advice before committing.
This apartment will suit downsizers looking for a secure, sociable setting close to shops, medical amenities and public transport. The building is modern and well maintained, though prospective purchasers should be comfortable with active communal management, ongoing service costs and confirming long-term financing given the lease length.
Overall, the flat delivers an easy-to-manage town-centre retirement lifestyle with good internal space and communal support, provided buyers are aware of the lease and service-charge implications before proceeding.
