This bright one-bedroom retirement apartment sits on the second floor of a purpose-built block with lift access and communal gardens. The living room is naturally lit with a bay window, and the flat benefits from built-in storage plus direct access to a fully boarded loft for extra belongings. Off-street residents’ parking is available on site.
Practical details suit a retirement buyer: the property is age restricted (over 60s), offered chain free and has a long lease of approximately 111 years remaining. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the building was constructed in the 1980s, providing straightforward, low‑maintenance brick construction and a familiar layout.
Buyers should note running costs and heating specifics. The property uses electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can be more expensive than mains gas. The monthly service charge (around £3,156 per year) is a material cost to factor into affordability. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, and council tax is described as affordable.
At about 466 sq ft this apartment is compact and best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking a low‑commitment, convenient retirement base close to local amenities, healthcare and good schools nearby. It offers solid storage, easy access to communal outdoor space, and the reassurance of a long lease and no onward chain.
