Set within the gated, landscaped Bagnall Heights for over‑55s, this mid‑terrace bungalow offers single‑level, low‑maintenance living with communal support. The open‑plan lounge/kitchen/diner and two bedrooms create a bright, practical layout suitable for everyday comfort and light entertaining. Double glazed patio doors bring natural light and direct access to the enclosed rear garden and paved patio.
Practical positives include an allocated off‑street parking space, communal gardens, and a 24‑hour on‑site reception for added peace of mind. The property was constructed in the early 2000s and benefits from modern double glazing and insulated cavity walls, helping with thermal performance.
Important costs and constraints are factual: the property is leasehold with 99 years remaining. Ground rent is currently £3,620–£4,320 per year (stated at £360 monthly), which is unusually high and will significantly affect annual running costs. Service charge is relatively low at £324 (below average), and buildings insurance is charged separately at £27 per month. Heating is by electric room heaters, so running costs will be higher than gas‑heated homes and should be budgeted for.
This bungalow suits a downsizer or retiree seeking a secure, community‑minded development and single‑storey living. It is well presented and ready to move into, but buyers must factor in the substantial ground rent and ongoing electricity heating costs when assessing affordability.
