Comfortable two-bedroom retirement flat in a well-kept purpose-built complex, ideal for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing living space. The first-floor position gives a pleasant open aspect and a Juliet balcony facing Twynham playing fields and the historic Priory, bringing in light and a sense of space. The flat includes an entrance hall, lounge/dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom — a practical conventional layout for everyday living.
The development is equipped with an emergency pull-cord system and communal grounds, offering social and safety benefits commonly sought in retirement living. Construction dates and improvements (double glazing and insulated cavity walls) suggest the building is relatively modern and energy-conscious, although heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive to run than gas alternatives.
This property is offered chain-free and is leasehold; prospective buyers should confirm lease length and any resident charges before committing. The flat is an average-sized 668 sq ft — manageable for maintenance while still providing space for visitors or hobbies. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local amenities are within easy reach.
Be candid about local issues: the area records higher crime levels than average, which may affect perceptions of security despite the building's safety features. Overall, this apartment suits a buyer seeking a low-fuss, centrally located retirement home with good light and communal facilities, provided they factor in heating costs and investigate lease details.
