The layout includes two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting/dining room and a private balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens — ideal for low-maintenance outdoor space. Underfloor heating throughout and a secure camera entry system add practical comfort and security.
Residents benefit from an on-site House Manager (Mon–Fri 9:00–15:00), a communal residents’ lounge, a bookable guest suite and a 24-hour emergency call system. The service charge covers external maintenance, gardening, window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates, communal energy use and security systems, reducing the day-to-day burden of upkeep.
This apartment is offered chain free and has a very long lease (990 years). It sits close to Loughton Underground (about 0.2 miles) and local shopping including supermarkets and a M&S food hall, making it convenient for daily errands and social life. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Note important practical points: the property is leasehold and part of a communal scheme with a service charge (amount not stated). The House Manager is on site limited weekday hours only and the guest apartment requires a booking fee. Council tax band is not provided and purchasers should verify service charge and any eligibility conditions for retirement living before committing.
