This ground-floor retirement flat in Scartho Village offers a low-maintenance single-bedroom home in a secure over-55s community. The layout includes a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a modern kitchen, and a wet room with anti-slip flooring — practical features for comfortable, independent living.
Residents benefit from warden-assisted support, a pull-cord safety system, communal gardens, and dedicated off-street parking. The property is gas centrally heated with UPVC double glazing and comes chain-free, ready for immediate occupation. The rear outlook opens onto open fields, offering a quiet, pleasant aspect.
Buyers should note a significant lease issue: only 64 years remain. Many mortgage lenders require longer leases and may refuse lending, which could limit purchase options to cash buyers or those able to arrange specialist lending. There is an annual service charge (average £1,128) and a low council tax band, which helps ongoing affordability.
This flat suits downsizers or retirees seeking a move-in-ready, managed community with on-site support and easy access to local amenities. It represents a convenient, low-upkeep lifestyle but requires careful consideration of lease length and financing before proceeding.
