A bright first-floor retirement apartment positioned in a peaceful corner of a well-maintained development, moments from Chorleywood village and the Chiltern/Met line station. The large sitting/dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over mature communal gardens, creating a calm living space for over‑55s. The double bedroom has extensive fitted wardrobes and two windows for light. The fitted kitchen is modern and well-equipped with integrated appliances and granite worktops.
Practical retirement features include an on-site estate manager, 24-hour emergency call system, communal conservatory and a designated parking space to the front. The apartment has accessibility additions — an existing stair lift (removable if preferred) and an easy-access walk-in shower with built-in seat and non-slip flooring, making day-to-day living easier for limited-mobility occupants.
Important practical points to note: the lease has 87 years remaining and the property is sold leasehold; the annual service charge is approximately £2,880 (about £240 pcm) and council tax is at Band E. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the EPC rating is D, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The flat is offered with no onward chain, so a quick completion is possible.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a low‑maintenance retirement base close to village amenities and transport links, with communal support and social spaces. It also offers potential for small updates to personalise heating and decor while enjoying immediate occupancy and generous room proportions.
