This well-proportioned top-floor retirement apartment in Ashfields, Reigate, offers nearly 900 sq ft of comfortable, single-level living suited to downsizers seeking generous room sizes and easy communal facilities. The large lounge/diner with a bay window creates a bright sitting and dining arrangement, while the main bedroom benefits from built-in storage and an en-suite shower. A lift serves the building, and residents’ parking and communal gardens add low-maintenance outdoor amenity.
The scheme is warden-assisted with a residents’ communal lounge, making it a practical choice for someone wanting on-site support and a social environment. The property is double-bedroomed with two bathrooms and good hallway storage — layout and proportions favour formal dining and separated living rather than open-plan conversions.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the apartment uses electric storage heaters (not a community system), and the service charge is above average at £4,122 per year. It is leasehold (long lease, c.965 years remaining) and council tax is described as expensive. These are important running-cost considerations for a retirement buyer.
Overall, Ashfields will suit a buyer prioritising space, convenience and support in a well-maintained, low-upkeep setting in central Reigate. It also offers straightforward rental/investment potential within a town that ranks as very affluent, but factor the higher service charge and electric heating when assessing affordability.
