This chain-free two-bedroom retirement apartment sits at lower ground/street level in Potters Court, offering independent access to a small patio and communal gardens. The lounge opens directly outside, and a recently replaced shower room plus fresh decoration and new carpets make the flat ready to move into.
Built in the mid-2000s for retirement living, the development provides useful communal facilities: lounge with kitchenette, overnight guest suite, residents' laundry, parking for residents and visitors, and lift access. The apartment has two double bedrooms, built-in wardrobes, and storage cupboards in the hallway.
Practical considerations you should know: heating is by Economy 7 electric storage heaters and there is no mains gas. The kitchen is dated (1980s style) and likely needs modernisation to suit long-term tastes. Service charges (£4,280.26 pa) and ground rent (£907.14 pa) are above average and should be factored into running costs, although buildings insurance is included. The lease has about 101 years remaining and the property is offered free of chain.
Location benefits include easy access to local shops, bus and rail links, and nearby good primary and secondary schools. Flood risk is rated medium and local crime levels are high — both worth checking during your due diligence. Overall, the flat suits someone seeking a ready-to-move retirement home with communal support and potential to update the kitchen and energy systems over time.
