Set on the riverside in The Maltings, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment is designed for over-55s seeking low-maintenance, scenic living. The bay-windowed lounge looks out over the Little Ouse, and the development includes communal gardens, a residents’ lounge, lift, on-site manager and parking.
The layout is practical: generous lounge/dining room, two bedrooms (one with a built-in wardrobe), an open-plan kitchen with integrated cooker and induction hob, plus a shower room. The property is offered chain-free and sits on a long lease (approximately 143 years remaining).
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement scheme with an above-average service charge and an annual ground rent. Heating is by electric storage heaters; mains broadband speeds are reported slow. The location has medium flood risk and higher local crime statistics — important considerations for safety and insurance.
Overall, this apartment suits a downsizer or retiree prioritising riverside walks, communal facilities and convenience to Brandon High Street. It offers immediate move-in potential but carries ongoing running costs and some location-based risks that prudent buyers should assess.
