A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment on the popular Grange Farm development, offered with no onward chain and a practical layout suited to downsizers. The sitting room opens to a Juliet balcony that brings natural light into the living space; new carpets and double glazing give a fresh, low-effort finish. An allocated parking space and communal gardens add convenience and outside space without extensive maintenance.
The kitchen is well-equipped with ample cupboards, a four-ring electric hob and oven. The apartment has one bathroom with a bath and shower over, and useful built-in storage in the hallway and second bedroom. Electric heating is installed throughout and the property is described as small (approx. 447 sq ft), so monthly running costs could be higher than gas-heated homes and space is limited compared with larger retirement homes.
This property is marketed as suitable for retirement living and can be bought using the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise by purchasers aged 60 or over. A guide Lifetime Lease price is £100,500 based on an average saving of 33% against the full market price of £150,000; actual price depends on age, circumstances and the share you choose to buy. If you are not over 60 you can still purchase at the full market price but should confirm terms with the seller.
Important practical points: tenure/lease details are not confirmed in the listing and must be checked by your solicitor. While the communal building appears well maintained, buyers should verify service charges, any ground rent, and the condition of communal areas. The apartment’s smaller size and electric heating make it best suited to someone seeking low-maintenance, centrally located retirement accommodation rather than a larger family home.
