A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment designed for over-55s, set within well-kept communal gardens in Jasmine Court. The layout offers lateral living, a bright lounge and a recently updated shower room, making daily life straightforward. Off-road parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The flat is chain-free and comes with a long lease (114 years remaining). Practical features include double glazing and fibre broadband; heating is by electric storage/oil heaters, which are economical to install but may mean higher running costs than gas alternatives. The property’s size is modest at 567 sq ft, suited to downsizers seeking manageable accommodation.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £2,936.64 and sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators. The interior shows dated decor in places and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise comfort and value. Parking is non-allocated, so regular users should allow extra time to secure a space.
This apartment will appeal to active retirees wanting low-maintenance, single-level living close to local shops, services and public transport. It also offers investment potential for those targeting the retirement rental market, provided they account for service charges and electric heating costs.
