Quiet, well-presented and purpose-suited for over-55s, this two-bedroom bungalow sits in an exclusive gated development on the edge of Retford town centre. The layout is single-level and easy to manage: a shaker-style kitchen with separate utility, a spacious lounge/diner with French doors to a private low-maintenance garden, two double bedrooms (master with en‑suite) and plentiful built-in storage. The garden backs onto the Chesterfield Canal and Retford Tennis Club, offering pleasant waterside walks from your doorstep.
Practical running costs are clear: the property is freehold, sold with no upward chain, and benefits from an allocated parking bay in a gated car park. A modest annual management charge (circa £161.21 for 2024–25) covers upkeep of the communal courtyard garden and common areas, reducing outdoor maintenance for owners. Council Tax is band C.
Buyers should note a few material points. Broadband speeds are average, and local recorded crime is above average for the area. Services and appliances have not been tested as part of the sale, so a buyer survey or service reports are recommended. The bungalow is average in overall size (approximately 775 sq ft) with compact utility and bathroom footprints.
This home will suit downsizers or retirees wanting an accessible, low‑maintenance life close to town amenities, green walks and local clubs. It combines comfortable, move‑in-ready accommodation with easy maintenance and canal-side character, while being candid about the need for standard checks and the local crime profile.
