Summary - CRITTENDEN LODGE FLAT 9 POND COTTAGE LANE WEST WICKHAM BR4 0QD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, low-maintenance one-bedroom close to shops and rail links.
Newly refurbished throughout, ready to move into
Quiet retirement living in West Wickham: this newly refurbished one-bedroom flat occupies the first floor of a small, age-restricted block with well-kept communal gardens, residents’ lounge, laundry and visitor suite. The accommodation (approximately 489 sq ft) includes a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a spacious lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen and shower room — all presented in move-in condition.
Practical benefits include off-street parking bays, low crime levels, excellent mobile signal and easy access to West Wickham High Street shops and regular trains to central London. Service charge is modest at £225 pcm and council tax is described as cheap, supporting manageable ongoing costs for residents.
Important lease and cost points you must know: the property is leasehold with 63 years remaining and a very high ground rent of £4,884 pa. Many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse loans on this lease length and the ground rent level; buyers should obtain specialist mortgage advice and legal guidance before committing. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are slow — factors to consider for running costs and connectivity.
This flat suits a retired buyer seeking a refurbished, low-maintenance home near amenities and transport links, but it is not recommended for purchasers requiring standard mortgage finance without prior checks. The property offers immediate occupation potential but carries material leasehold and cost considerations that materially affect value and marketability.
