Light, manageable and set in the heart of Bramley village, this first-floor retirement flat suits buyers looking to downsize without losing access to local amenities. The 506 sq ft layout offers two bedrooms, a lounge/diner and a compact kitchen, all arranged in a traditional plan that is easy to maintain. Communal gardens and off-road parking add outdoor space and convenience rarely found in purpose-built retirement flats.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with about 150 years remaining and an average annual service charge of £2,400. Heating is by electric storage heaters — straightforward but potentially costly compared with gas. The flat will be sold at a Modern Auction, so buyers should expect an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.2% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000) and a 56-day completion period once contracts are drafted.
For downsizers who value village life, proximity to shops and well-regarded local schools, this flat presents a low-maintenance base with immediate occupancy available (no onward chain). The communal gardens and allocated parking provide practical benefits, while the long lease gives security of tenure. Prospective bidders should review the buyer information pack, confirm running costs and be prepared for the auction fees and procedure.
