Low‑maintenance living close to shops, transport and on-site communal facilities.
Immaculate one-bedroom apartment, roughly 646 sq ft
Light-filled, immaculately presented one-bedroom apartment designed for low-maintenance retirement living. At around 646 sq ft, the flat offers a generous lounge with a large window, a double bedroom, separate bathroom and toilet, and useful built-in storage including loft access. The building, constructed in the mid-2000s, benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Residents have access to a communal lounge, laundry room and communal gardens, creating opportunities for socialising while keeping upkeep minimal. The property is sold with a share of freehold, no onward chain and a long lease (107 years remaining), making the purchase straightforward for those downsizing or seeking a settled retirement base.
A notable option for qualifying buyers (age 60+) is the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise. The Lifetime Lease guide price for this property is shown at £106,000 (example saving ~33% from market value £160,000) depending on age and circumstances; customers can buy up to a 50% share of value to protect future equity. Alternatively the property can be purchased at the full market price.
Practical points to note: the service charge is approximately £3,493 per year and the immediate area records higher crime levels, which some buyers will want to consider. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent and local amenities — shops, doctors and bus stops — are within easy reach.
