This one-bedroom apartment sits within a popular retirement complex on Park Road, offered chain free and designed for residents aged 60+. The building is set in landscaped communal gardens with off-street parking, lift access, a communal lounge and laundry — all useful for an independent, low-maintenance lifestyle.
The flat provides a spacious living room with side garden views, a double bedroom, kitchen and shower room. Heating is by Economy 7 electric storage heaters and the property benefits from double glazing; council tax is very cheap, making monthly running costs predictable. The apartment is mid-sized at around 452 sq ft and constructed in the 1980s.
Practical considerations: the kitchen shows dated fittings and would benefit from renovation to modernise. Broadband speeds are slow here, and the building sits in an area with above-average crime levels — factors to consider for security and connectivity. The leasehold has a ground rent of £500 (average) and electric heating can lead to higher consumption if used extensively.
Overall this is a low-effort retirement flat offering community facilities and garden views, suited to downsizers seeking manageable accommodation with scope to upgrade the kitchen and internal finishes.
