A practical first-floor, three-bedroom apartment arranged for over-55s living, offered with no onward chain. The flat has a bright lounge with balcony, a modern kitchen, shower room, and private resident parking — suited to someone seeking a low-maintenance home close to local amenities and healthcare.
Important considerations are the shortish lease (67 years remaining) and a substantial annual service charge (about £2,496). The lease length may limit mortgage options or require a buyer able to fund a lease extension or purchase with cash; buyers should obtain lender/solicitor advice early.
The building was constructed c.1996–2002 and has double glazing and electric storage heating. The apartment occupies a quiet block with well-kept communal gardens and easy access to local shops and transport, but it sits in an area classed as very deprived with higher local crime rates — factor in personal security and local support services when deciding.
This property suits downsizers or those seeking independent retirement living in a small, manageable home. It is well presented throughout, ready to move into, and offers potential to personalise interiors; however, prospective buyers should commission a survey and confirm leasehold costs and lender acceptance before committing.
