A well-presented top-floor apartment in a purpose-built over-55s complex, positioned close to Burwell village amenities and surrounded by immaculately kept communal gardens. The accommodation includes a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a bright sitting/dining room with garden views, a walk-in shower room and a functional kitchen. Recent redecoration and new carpeting make this ready to occupy with minimal immediate fuss.
The complex offers practical on-site facilities valued by retirees: residents’ lounge, laundry room, ample parking, and an on-site House Manager for day-to-day support. Double glazing to the main rooms and low council tax (Band B) help keep running costs modest. The building dates from the early 1990s and sits in a quiet, prosperous small-town setting with good mobile signal and reasonable local services.
Important matters to note: the flat is leasehold with 62 years remaining. This length may restrict mortgage options or require a specialist lender; buyers should obtain early mortgage advice. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can affect running costs and suitability for those wanting gas central heating. The kitchen has 1990s fittings and, while the apartment is newly redecorated, the kitchen would benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary tastes.
Chain-free and immediately available, this apartment suits someone looking to downsize into a secure retirement-focused community with managed communal grounds and on-site support. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising low-maintenance living and social facilities, while investors or buyers needing mainstream mortgage lending should check lease length implications first.
