This first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Bridgewater Court is built for easy, independent retirement living. At about 484 sq ft the layout is traditional and straightforward: entrance hall, generous lounge, separate kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. The building was constructed in the 2003–2006 period and benefits from double glazing and a house manager on site.
Residents have access to communal facilities including a lounge, communal laundry, landscaped gardens, guest rooms (available for an extra charge), and on-site parking. The apartment includes a security alarm and an in-home careline, which supports peace of mind for older occupants. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent; council tax is described as cheap.
Practical ownership details are important: the property is leasehold with around 101 years remaining, a service charge averaging £2,682 and a ground rent of £365. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can be more costly to run for some buyers. The property is offered chain-free and is close to local bus routes and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
This home suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance, community-focused living near local amenities and health services. It is not for those looking for a large private garden, a gas-heated property, or a location with low neighbourhood crime: the area records higher-than-average crime levels. Buyers should factor in ongoing service charges and electric heating costs when assessing value.
