Accessible, low-maintenance retirement apartment near Crystal Palace amenities.
Ground-floor one-bedroom garden flat with private outdoor space
A practical ground-floor one-bedroom garden flat in Rosetta Court, tailored for over-55s seeking easy, low-effort living close to Crystal Palace. The open-plan living area and contemporary kitchen create a light, usable space, while direct access to a private garden and off-street parking add rare convenience for a retirement flat.
The long lease (962 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase; service charge is £2,632 pa and there is no ground rent. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property runs on mains electricity — a straightforward setup but one that can lead to higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Practical drawbacks are clear and should guide viewings: broadband speeds are very slow locally, the immediate area records above-average crime levels, and the neighbourhood records higher deprivation indices. The apartment is modest in size (487 sqft) and best suited to a single occupier or downsizer rather than someone needing more space.
Overall this is a sensible, accessible retirement home with outdoor space and parking, good communal upkeep and excellent mobile signal. It will particularly suit buyers looking for a low-hassle base near Crystal Palace’s amenities, provided they accept the electric heating and local connectivity and safety trade-offs.
