Ground-floor convenience with communal facilities and residents’ parking close to local shops.
Ground-floor, easy single-level living
This ground-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment sits within a modern, purpose-built development close to Hornchurch High Street. The layout includes an entrance hall with storage, a separate kitchen, lounge, two double bedrooms and a bathroom — practical, single-level accommodation that’s easy to manage.
Shared features include a communal lounge, well-maintained gardens and residents’ parking, making this home suited to those looking to downsize without losing communal facilities or local connections. The block was built in the late 2000s and benefits from double glazing, mains gas heating and an EPC rating of B.
The home is being sold chain-free on a long lease (approximately 109 years remaining) but carries an above-average service charge (£4,252 pa) and a ground rent of £395 pa. There is no private garden; outdoor space is communal only. The location offers excellent local amenities, strong bus links to Romford and Upminster, and nearby schools and shops within walking distance.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance retirement flat for buyers seeking convenience and community facilities. Budget for the service charge and ongoing leasehold costs when assessing value.
