A well-presented first-floor retirement apartment in a modern development on Sawyers Hall Lane, offering lift access, a private balcony and pleasant communal gardens. The layout is practical for downsizers: reception room, separate kitchen, one double bedroom and a modern bathroom. The apartment is small at 419 sq ft but bright, neutrally decorated and ready to move into.
Practical features include off-street resident parking, double glazing, share of freehold tenure and 87 years remaining on the lease. Connectivity is strong with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and local shops, parks and services are within easy reach — a straightforward choice for someone seeking low-maintenance living near Brentwood town facilities.
Notable running costs and considerations are clear: electric storage heating (no communal gas) can mean higher energy bills, and the average service charge is approximately £2,028 per year. The building is in an area with a reported very high local crime rate; buyers should satisfy themselves on security measures and insurance. The apartment’s small size and lease length may also influence mortgage options or future resale value.
Overall, this apartment suits a retiree or downsizer prioritising convenience, communal facilities and outdoor space, who accepts modest living space and ongoing service charges in exchange for a low‑maintenance, well-located home.
