Low-maintenance flat with extensive communal facilities and long lease.
Purpose-built over-65s development with active social programme
A well-presented second-floor apartment in a purpose-built retirement development, arranged for independent over-65 living close to Grange Farm’s shops, bus terminal and Tesco. The large lounge/diner with juliette doors faces the communal gardens and a separate window overlooks the sports ground, giving bright, open aspects. The fitted kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating provide practical day-to-day comfort.
The building is designed for social living: a busy events programme, residents’ lounge, dining service, laundry, hobbies room, lift, buggy storage and extensive communal gardens and parking. The apartment’s wet room and built-in storage suit a low-maintenance lifestyle, while the long lease (979 years) removes common short-lease concerns.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with a substantial annual service charge (£8,118.12) and ground rent (£360.20). These costs fund communal services and reserves but make the running costs higher than many standard flats. The apartment is best for downsizers seeking an active retirement community rather than a low-cost home-owning option.
