Quiet, ground-floor retirement apartment in a modern 2016 development, designed for owners aged 55+. The large reception room opens onto a private patio with direct views over well-kept communal gardens, offering a pleasant outdoor space and easy access to the residents’ lounge. Two double bedrooms, built-in storage and an additional WC give practical, flexible living for downsizers seeking a low-maintenance home near Leatherhead town centre.
Practical features include lift access, unallocated on-site parking and communal management with a community heating scheme. Broadband and mobile coverage are reported as good, and the development’s location places shops, restaurants and transport links within easy walking distance. The apartment’s EPC rating C and average-sized floorplan (722 sq ft) suit buyers wanting contemporary, manageable accommodation.
Important costs and constraints are clear: the property is leasehold with 116 years remaining, an above-average service charge (£4,830.68pa) and a relatively high ground rent (£575pa, reviewed every seven years). Heating is all-electric via a communal arrangement, which may affect bills and preferences. The local area records higher crime levels, and council tax is above average—factors to weigh alongside the convenience and communal facilities.
This apartment will appeal to buyers aged 55+ looking to downsize into a modern, secure development with gardens and convenient town access. It suits those who prioritise low-maintenance living and community amenities, but buyers should budget for ongoing service charges, ground rent and consider heating costs before committing.
