Set within a well-kept Georgian-style conversion close to Saffron Walden town centre, this ground-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment offers convenient, low-maintenance living. The communal gardens, residents' lounge, laundry and ample parking support social life and everyday ease, while secure entry and lift access add practical comfort.
The layout works well for downsizers who want room for visitors or hobbies: a light lounge/diner links to a compact fitted kitchen, and two bedrooms provide flexibility. Broadband is fast and local amenities, shops and transport links (including Audley End station) are within easy reach, making it simple to stay connected and independent.
Buyers should note important facts: the property is leasehold with 86 years remaining, so future mortgage or resale options may need checking. The flat is small (about 381 sq ft) and uses electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. There is a medium flood risk for the area and additional leasehold fees or service charges may apply.
Overall, this chain-free apartment suits retirees seeking a central, community-focused base with manageable upkeep and good local services, provided they are comfortable with the shorter lease length and electric heating.
