A bright one-bedroom first-floor apartment in a retirement development designed for over-55s. The flat sits in well-tended communal grounds with an on-site residents’ lounge and off-street parking, offering a low-maintenance option for someone looking to downsize or move into sheltered living without a chain.
The accommodation is compact (around 420 sq ft) and well presented, with electric heating and neutral decor throughout. The development’s gardens and communal areas provide pleasant outdoor space and social opportunities, while local shops and regular bus routes are within easy reach.
Important considerations: the lease has about 59 years remaining, which may affect mortgage availability as some lenders refuse to lend on shorter leases. Broadband speeds are slow and the property uses electric heating, which could mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. Prospective buyers should note that an interview with the resident warden is required before offers can be accepted.
This chain-free apartment suits a buyer prioritising community amenities, low upkeep and a convenient location close to local services. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size and layout; buyers should check lease, lending options and running costs before committing.
