A larger-style two-bedroom retirement flat on the top floor with lift access and communal lounge — designed for over 55s who want low-maintenance living close to town. The apartment has a modern kitchen and bathroom, double glazing, and pleasant communal gardens for relaxation or socialising. Sold with no onward chain and a very long lease (988 years), it offers security of tenure and practical convenience for downsizers.
Practical considerations are clear: the home is electrically heated via storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The service charge is approximately £3,500 per year and the property is leasehold (advertised as share of freehold), so buyers should review the management and communal funding arrangements. The apartment is compact at about 610 sq ft and is situated in an area with high flood risk and higher local crime levels — both important factors for older buyers to consider.
Location is a major strength: five minutes’ walk to the High Street and the mainline station, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for staying connected. The block was built in the early 1990s, benefits from recent double glazing and a lift, and has communal facilities aimed at social living. For those seeking a town-centre retirement base with immediate convenience and minimal gardening upkeep, this flat is a practical option, provided buyers check insurance, flood protection and the ongoing service charge commitments.
