This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a purpose-built retirement development close to Yarm High Street, offering independent living with on-site communal facilities. The living room opens via double French doors to well-kept communal gardens, and the modern kitchen includes an integrated double oven and hob. Its compact layout is practical for a single occupant or couple seeking a low-maintenance home within a community of people aged 55+.
The development provides communal lounges, a conservatory, landscaped gardens and resident/visitor parking, plus intercom entry and emergency assistance for peace of mind. Double glazing and an EPC in the C band suggest reasonable energy performance; the property is offered with no onward chain and has been reduced for a quick sale.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold retirement flat with 91 years remaining and a relatively high annual service charge of £4,495, which covers communal upkeep and facilities. Heating is electric (storage/electric heaters) and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow — factors to consider for running costs and connectivity.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-located option for a purchaser seeking independent retirement living close to local shops, transport links and community facilities. The apartment’s modest footprint suits downsizers or investors looking for a retirement-tenanted property, provided they are comfortable with the service charge, leasehold tenure and electric heating.
