This bright, larger-than-average first-floor corner apartment in Matthews Lodge is designed for residents aged 60+. The L-shaped reception room enjoys a sunny south aspect and plentiful natural light thanks to its corner position and proximity to the lift and stairs. At about 565 sq ft, the open-plan layout feels spacious for one-bedroom retirement living and includes a modern fitted kitchen and built-in bedroom wardrobes.
The development, completed in 2007, offers practical on-site amenities that suit downsizers: a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry, mobility scooter parking and a welcoming lodge manager. Unallocated off-street residents’ parking and good broadband and mobile coverage make everyday life straightforward, and the flat is set back from the main road for added quiet.
Be aware of the ongoing costs and some practical limitations. The property is leasehold with approximately 107 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,711.06 and a comparatively high ground rent of £811.26 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating, and the area is noted as having a medium flood risk and higher local crime levels.
This apartment will suit a downsizer or retiree seeking low-maintenance, community-focused living close to Addlestone town centre. It’s presented in good condition but buyers who prioritise lower-running costs or who need gas heating should factor in potential energy and retrofit considerations.
