Set within a well-kept over-55s development in Buckhurst Hill, this two-bedroom lower-ground apartment offers rare private garden access plus communal lawns and a residents’ lounge. The flat is chain free and benefits from lift access, an on-site manager and entry-phone security — practical comforts for independent retirement living.
The accommodation includes a spacious reception room with garden access, two bedrooms and a modern shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are fitted; the property is compact at about 559 sq ft, suited to those seeking manageable, low-maintenance living rather than large family space.
Important lease information affects purchase suitability: 57 years remain on the lease. That is short for a leasehold and may mean many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend. Prospective buyers should obtain specialist mortgage and legal advice early. Annual service charge and ground rent are payable (approximately £2,976 p.a. service charge and £90 p.a. ground rent).
Nearby amenities and good public transport links, including Buckhurst Hill Central Line, place shops, cafes and local services within easy reach. Overall, the apartment is best suited to downsizers or retirees wanting independent living with communal support and garden access — but buyers must be comfortable with lease length and the associated financing implications.
