A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat set within a small, quiet development close to Eltham High Street. The property is chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, with off-street parking, communal gardens and double glazing providing practical, low-maintenance living for a single occupant or couple.
Internally the apartment is modest in size (approximately 321 sq ft) and presented in good decorative order. Accommodation includes a living room with feature fireplace, a fitted kitchen, a double bedroom and a shower room. Heating is electric via room heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which suits low-use occupiers but can be more costly than communal gas systems.
Important lease and cost information is stated plainly: this is a leasehold retirement property with only around 60–61 years remaining, a ground rent of £172 per year and a service charge of about £250 per year. The limited lease length may restrict mortgage options and some lenders could refuse to lend; buyers should obtain mortgage advice before committing.
Location is convenient for shops, transport links and local amenities in Eltham, and broadband/mobile signals are good. Note the area records higher-than-average crime levels; prospective purchasers should factor local safety considerations into their decision. Overall this is a practical, chain-free retirement flat offering easy access to local facilities but with a short lease and electric heating that merit close attention.
