This well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment in Thorpe St Andrew offers low-maintenance living with community-focused facilities. The bright bay-fronted lounge/diner and modern kitchen suit independent occupants seeking a compact, comfortable home close to local amenities. It is offered chain free, making for a straightforward purchase.
Residents benefit from practical on-site features: a 24-hour care line with pull cords and personal alarm, communal lounge, laundry room, guest suite availability, lift and stair-lift access, and modest communal gardens. An on-site manager is present Monday to Friday for additional reassurance.
Practical considerations include the leasehold tenure with 98 years remaining and an annual service charge of about £2,772. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are reported slow — both factors to weigh for ongoing running costs and connectivity. The apartment’s overall size is small (approx. 320 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking downsized, low-upkeep living.
In short, this flat presents a secure, well-maintained retirement option with useful communal support and straightforward accommodation; buyers should note running costs, lease length and limited internal space when assessing suitability.
