A one-bedroom retirement apartment in Maldon Court, offered with no onward chain and within comfortable walking distance of Colchester city centre and its train station. The block provides practical communal facilities including a lounge, library/games room, laundry, lift, gardens and communal parking — useful everyday conveniences for over-60s living.
The flat has a spacious lounge/diner, separate kitchen, double bedroom with bay window and a bathroom. The accommodation is bright and well-proportioned for an apartment of about 528 sq ft, with double glazing and electric storage heating. The setting is low-maintenance, with shared gardens and off-street parking included.
Important lease and cost information is disclosed plainly. The property is leasehold with approximately 61 years remaining; some mortgage lenders may refuse loans on this term. Annual service charge and ground rent are significant (around £3,000 service charge and £356 ground rent), so factor running costs into affordability calculations. Heating is electric storage; buyers should consider energy costs and any preference for alternative heating systems.
This apartment will suit a downsizer or retired buyer seeking convenience, social communal facilities and a city-centre location. It offers straightforward, comfortable living but is best viewed with awareness of lease length and ongoing charges — suitable for cash buyers or those who can confirm mortgage eligibility on the remaining lease term.
