First-floor, chain-free one-bedroom in over-60s development near town centre.
Purpose-built over-60s development with on-site manager
This one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Meadow Court is purpose-built for over-60s seeking a low-maintenance town-base close to East Grinstead centre. The flat offers a compact but practical layout with a separate lounge, fitted kitchen, remodeled bathroom and built-in bedroom wardrobes. Lift access, an entry phone and a red pull-cord emergency system provide practical peace of mind.
Residents benefit from communal lounge and well-kept gardens, on-site manager, launderette and off-street parking — useful for visitors or a car. The property is chain-free with approximately 100 years remaining on the lease, double glazing and reasonable-sized rooms for a one-bedroom apartment (about 507 sq ft).
Notable considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas in winter; the development carries a ground rent of £385 (average) and will have service charges for communal upkeep. The local area registers a higher crime level, so prospective buyers should view and check security measures. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flooding risk.
This apartment will suit downsizers or retirees who prioritise community facilities, low external maintenance and proximity to shops and services. It offers straightforward, manageable accommodation with potential to personalise interior finishes, while buyers should budget for ongoing heating and communal charges.
