Light, manageable and well-located, this top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Queenswood House is aimed at buyers seeking a low-maintenance retirement base close to Brentwood town centre. The reception room and bedroom both face communal gardens, giving a pleasant outlook and daylight. Lift access and an emergency pull cord add practical comfort for older residents.
The accommodation is compact (approximately 433 sq ft) and efficiently arranged: entrance hall with storage, a medium-sized lounge, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, double bedroom with wardrobes and a shower room. The extended 148-year lease and peppercorn ground rent remove typical leasehold anxieties. Residents benefit from a communal lounge, maintained gardens and off-street residents’ parking.
Buyers should note the annual service charge (about £3,080.68) which covers communal maintenance and facilities; factor this into running costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect energy costs. Broadband speeds are average and the flat is modest in size, so it suits single occupancy or a couple rather than those needing large living spaces.
Overall this is a practical, comfortable retirement apartment in a well-managed, modern brick complex built in the early 1990s. It’s best for downsizers who value proximity to town amenities, communal facilities and easy access, while being prepared for the ongoing service charge and electrically based heating.
