Set within Risingholme Court just yards from Heathfield High Street, this freshly redecorated one-bedroom apartment suits an over-60s buyer seeking convenience and communal support. The second-floor flat benefits from a lift, communal lounge, on-site restaurant with subsidised meals and 24-hour assisted-living services, making everyday life easier without leaving the town centre.
The apartment has a spacious double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a living/dining room with an electric fireplace, and a kitchen with integrated appliances. The bathroom offers both a walk-in shower and a separate bath with grab rails, reflecting practical design for mobility and comfort. The property has been newly redecorated and carpeted within the last year, so it is largely move-in ready.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold with 107 years remaining, substantial service charges of £850 pcm, and a ground rent of £435 per year. These ongoing costs are typical for managed retirement developments and should be factored into affordability calculations. The flat is offered chain free and includes a garage for parking or storage.
Overall this is a low-effort, centrally located retirement home that prioritises communal amenities and accessibility. It will appeal to downsizers who want a town-centre base with on-site support and social facilities, but buyers should review service charge commitments and leasehold terms before proceeding.
