This well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment occupies the first floor of a purpose-built block in Beken Court, First Avenue. Designed for residents aged 60+, the flat offers manageable living with communal facilities — an on-site manager, lounge, laundry and well-kept shared gardens — that support independent retirement living and peace of mind.
The location is a clear practical benefit: Garston train station and bus links are within easy reach, with fast access to Watford town centre and major roads (M1 and M25). An allocated off-street parking space and pleasant views over landscaped communal lawns add everyday convenience for visitors and residents.
Internally the accommodation is compact and tidy, with good natural light from large windows and double glazing. The EPC indicates decent energy performance, and the property is suitable for someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home, or an investor aware of the market for retirement flats. The electric storage heating and modest footprint keep day-to-day running simple but limit heating flexibility.
Important practical note: the flat is leasehold with c.62 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders impose restrictions or refuse to lend on leases under certain thresholds — buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice and confirm funding before committing. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported above local average; prospective buyers should factor local safety and security into their decision.
Overall this apartment offers a comfortable, convenient retirement base with communal support and good transport links, but it is best suited to buyers who can either purchase outright or obtain lending that accommodates a shorter lease. Some internal modernisation could enhance comfort and resale value.
