Set within a well-maintained retirement development, this one-bedroom flat offers manageable, secure living for the over-55s. The living room is bright and opens onto a small balcony, providing a pleasant spot for morning coffee and views over landscaped grounds. An on-site communal lounge encourages socialising without leaving the building, and a security pull cord in every room adds peace of mind.
Practical details suit downsizers: no onward chain, a long lease of 104 years, and an EPC rating of B. The building dates from the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing. Conversely, heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives, and ongoing costs include a service charge and ground rent.
Financially, buyers should note the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £3,301 and ground rent of £370 per year. Council tax is described as cheap, and there is low local crime and excellent mobile signal. The flat’s 502 sq ft footprint is compact and well-suited to a single occupant or couple who want low-maintenance accommodation but may require downsizing belongings.
Overall, this is a straightforward, ready-to-move-into retirement apartment with practical communal facilities and secure living. It will appeal to buyers seeking a sociable, low-upkeep base close to local amenities and transport, provided they are comfortable with electric heating and the leasehold service costs.
