This well-kept one-bedroom flat in Beatrice Lodge offers practical, low-effort living within easy walking distance of Oxted town centre and the mainline station. Situated on the second floor with lift access, the apartment benefits from a separate kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating, plus built-in storage and a fitted shower room. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, house managers and a pleasant paved terrace and lawn — useful for socialising and convenience.
Ownership is share of freehold, with an annual service charge of £3,300 that covers water rates, building insurance and communal services; laundry use is included. A one-off transfer fee of 1.5% of the sale price is payable on completion to the managing company — buyers should factor this and the half-yearly service charge into ongoing costs. Council Tax Band C is affordable and parking is available on-site, generally without allocated spaces.
The development is aimed at assisted living so it suits those looking to downsize with support and community facilities nearby. The flat is clean and functional but not recently refurbished; buyers seeking modernisation or cosmetic upgrades will find scope to personalise the space. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
Material negatives are straightforward: the location records higher local crime levels than average, the service charge is significant, and there is a sale transfer fee. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and has partial cavity wall insulation; any purchaser should satisfy themselves on condition and energy performance if concerned.
