Larger-than-average over-55s flat with communal facilities and lift access.
Top-floor apartment with no neighbours above or beside
This spacious one-bedroom apartment occupies a top-floor position in a purpose-built over-55s complex, offering quiet single-aspect living with no adjoining neighbours and no flats above. The layout is larger than average for the block and includes a double bedroom, fitted kitchen and a modern shower room. Lift access, a resident house manager, 24-hour care link and regular communal activities make it well suited for independent retirement living or a low-maintenance bolt-hole for frequent travellers.
Communal facilities are a key benefit: maintained gardens, a residents’ lounge and kitchen, laundry rooms, two guest suites (bookable), and two lifts. The flat comes chain-free and has 108 years remaining on the lease. Practical details include double glazing, an intercom system and integrated kitchen appliances, with a useful storage cupboard in the entrance hall.
Important practical points are set out plainly. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the annual service charge (from May 2025) is £1,903.78, covering management, communal cleaning, lift maintenance, building insurance and utilities. Ground rent is £120 per year and increases by 25% every 25 years. The area is described as having above-average crime and higher deprivation indices; buyers should weigh local safety and support needs when viewing.
Overall this apartment will appeal to downsizers seeking community living with onsite support and social facilities, and to buyers wanting a low-upkeep, city-edge base with straightforward access to shops, buses and a nearby park. The property offers immediate occupation without onward chain, but budget-conscious buyers should factor in service charges, ground rent escalation and the electric heating arrangement.
