Summary - MONTAGUE LODGE, 95 11 RECTORY ROAD BECKENHAM BR3 1XF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Manageable, secure flat with communal facilities close to local shops and transport.
First‑floor retirement flat with lift and communal gardens
This one‑bedroom retirement apartment sits on the first floor of Montague Lodge, a purpose‑built development with communal gardens, a residents’ lounge and on‑site development manager. The flat offers an open‑plan living area with large windows and a bright aspect across well‑tended grounds. Practical features include a lift, laundry room, guest suite and a 24/7 emergency call system for peace of mind.
The building is well-located for local shops, cafes and transport links, making daily errands straightforward. At 506 sq ft the apartment is a manageable size for single occupancy and is priced competitively for the area, with council tax described as affordable. Electric storage heating and double glazing are already in place.
Important considerations are the lease length and running costs. The lease has around 60 years remaining — short enough that some mortgage lenders may decline applications and a lease extension would be advisable. The annual service charge is £4,297.50 and ground rent £225; buyers should budget for these ongoing fees and ask about any event fees that may apply on purchase.
The interior shows signs of wear and would benefit from cosmetic updating to modernise finishes. This presents potential to add value for a buyer prepared to refurbish, but also means immediate investment may be needed to suit personal tastes and mobility requirements.
