This first-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in Crawley Down is marketed through a Home for Life lifetime lease for purchasers aged 60+. The Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £123,000 (illustrative saving from the £175,000 market price), with the actual price depending on age, circumstances and chosen safeguarded share (up to 50%). Purchase is subject to property and lease review.
The flat offers a spacious living room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and a modern bathroom with walk-in shower. Features include communal gardens, off-street parking, double glazing and plentiful storage. The property is chain-free and set in a low-crime, very affluent suburb with good local amenities and average broadband.

Heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas), and buyers should verify the condition of electrical systems and glazing dates. Some images are virtually staged and represent styling only.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement base in a village setting with community feel. It offers good scope for personalisation but is not suitable for buyers under 60 unless purchasing at the full market price and outside the lifetime-lease example.
