Set in the heart of Crowborough, this two-bedroom retirement flat (over-55s) offers a practical, low-maintenance home close to shops, cafés and bus links. The flat is vacant and chain-free, so a purchaser can move quickly. Its private entrance and existing stairlift make independent living straightforward, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal keep you connected.
Internally the rooms are modest in scale — a medium living room, two bedrooms and a walk-in shower room — and the accommodation will reward updating. The apartment is offered with 137 years remaining on the lease, a below-average annual service charge (£816) and a small ground rent (£100), which supports reasonable ongoing costs compared with many retirement schemes.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the property needs renovation and redecoration, so budget for upgrades to finishes and flooring. The building sits in an area with higher crime levels than average, which prospective buyers should consider. Off-street parking is available but allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be guaranteed.
For someone downsizing or seeking a retirement buy-to-let, this flat presents strong value for its central location, low running costs and long lease. With some modernisation it could become a comfortable, easy-to-manage home or a straightforward rental for the local retirement market.
