A well-situated first-floor retirement apartment in Hanover Court, offered with no onward chain and managed communal grounds. The one-bedroom layout (approx. 454 sq ft) suits a single occupant or downsizer seeking a low-maintenance home with pleasant views over the North Downs and on-site management during weekday hours.
Practical features include sealed-unit double glazing, an entry phone system, communal parking and outside maintenance included in the service charge. The scheme is aimed at over-55s and benefits from tidy communal seating areas and landscaped grounds that provide a calming outside space without personal garden upkeep.
Important considerations: the flat uses electric storage heating rather than central gas, and the lease has about 62 years remaining — this may limit mortgage options and will be a key factor for buyers and lenders. The property is generally tidy but would benefit from light cosmetic updating to maximise comfort and potential rental or resale value.
This apartment will suit a downsizer wanting straightforward, managed retirement living close to Dorking town centre and local amenities, or an investor aware of lease-length and heating implications. Viewings are recommended for those seeking a compact, low-fuss home with good connectivity and communal support.
