This ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment sits close to Sutton High Street and transport links, offering convenient, low-maintenance living. Recently redecorated and re-carpeted, the flat has a bay-front living room with a decorative fireplace, a fitted kitchen with some integrated appliances, and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
Outside there are well-maintained communal gardens and off-street parking available on a first-come, first-served basis. Practical features include double glazing, an entry-phone system and electric storage heating. The property is chain free and ready for immediate occupation by a purchaser who wants a straightforward, accessible home in a very affluent neighbourhood.
Important: the lease has 62 years remaining. This is a significant issue — many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend on flats with this lease length, so the property is realistically suitable for cash buyers or someone prepared to arrange a lease extension (which will incur cost and time). As a retirement flat, running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes due to electric storage heating.
Overall this is a well-presented, compact retirement apartment in a convenient Sutton location. It will suit a buyer seeking easy access to local shops, transport and community amenities, provided they accept the short lease and leasehold restrictions.
