This ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment in the Huskards development offers low‑maintenance living in the heart of Upminster, designed for over‑55s. The flat is chain-free and sits within well-kept communal grounds, with resident parking, a private patio and an active on-site community — useful for anyone looking to downsize without sacrificing convenience.
The accommodation is compact and efficient, best suited to a single occupant or couple: an entrance hall with storage, a modern fitted kitchen, a lounge opening onto a patio, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a contemporary shower room. Built in the early 1990s with later double glazing, the development feels contemporary and managed, with an on-site manager, Careline alarm and weekly social activities.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 86 years remaining and electric storage heating, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent. The wider area is affluent and offers excellent access to Upminster town centre and train services into London.
Important negatives are stated plainly: this is a small, ground-floor apartment — limited internal space — and the local recorded crime level is above average. Prospective buyers should note the leasehold tenure and the heating type when budgeting. Overall, this is a convenient, low‑upkeep retirement home in a well‑appointed development close to shops and transport links.
