2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free retirement flat with communal gardens — limited lease may affect mortgage availability.
Chain-free two-bedroom retirement flat in Fountain Court
A chain-free, two-bedroom retirement flat in Fountain Court, placed close to Blackfen High Street and local bus routes. The first-floor apartment sits in a tidy 1980s brick block with communal gardens, an on-site laundry room and an onsite house manager — features that suit someone seeking low-maintenance, supported living.
The accommodation is traditional in layout with two well-lit bedrooms, one bathroom and double glazing. Outside space and neat communal lawns provide pleasant places to sit and meet neighbours; the development’s services (laundry, drying area and manager) reduce day-to-day chores and make independent living easier.
Important practical points: the property runs on electric storage heating and main fuel is electricity, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the service charge is approximately £3,060 pa (£255 pcm). Critically, the lease has about 60 years remaining — a shorter unexpired term that may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering loans, so buyer suitability will be affected. Buyers should verify lease, service charge and lender options with their solicitor and mortgage adviser.
For a buyer over 55 who wants a straightforward, low‑maintenance home near local shops and good schools nearby, this flat offers convenience and community. However, limited lease length, running costs and slow broadband are material considerations that should be weighed before viewing.
