Sociable, low-maintenance living near shops and riverside walks.
Top-floor apartment with Juliet balcony and direct river views
This top-floor retirement apartment at Riverside Court offers peaceful riverside living with far-reaching views from a Juliet balcony. The airy lounge/diner opens to the outlook, and the generous bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and good storage — practical for long-term downsizers. Recent upgrades include new electric heaters and a brand-new water tank for reliable heating and hot water.
Residents benefit from a genuine community atmosphere with a communal lounge, landscaped gardens, laundry room and an affordable guest suite hire option. The flat is ready to move into with fitted appliances and an electric fire adding cosy appeal. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting visitors and connecting with family.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 100 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,119.50 and ground rent of £830 pa (fixed for 23 years). The kitchen is dated and would benefit from modernisation; buyers should factor renovation costs into their plans. Local amenities are within easy reach in central Halstead, though recorded local crime levels are higher than average — consider personal security and visiting times when viewing.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking a sociable, low-maintenance retirement base with attractive riverside views and communal facilities, provided they are comfortable with leasehold costs and a kitchen refurbishment in the near future.
