This first-floor retirement flat in Ridgmount offers comfortable, low-stairs living for over-55s in leafy Wimbledon. The two-bedroom, one-bath layout with an open-plan reception and private patio suits those looking to downsize without sacrificing space. A long lease (circa 244 years) and 763 sq ft overall give genuine tenure security and flexible living.
Residents benefit from practical conveniences: an underground garage, on-site resident parking, a communal lounge and garden room, and easy access to Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon Common. Wimbledon Station is about 0.6 miles away, giving straightforward links into central London while local shops and independent cafés are within walking distance.
Important financial points are clear: this is a 75% shared ownership property with an annual service charge of £6,626.96 and relatively high council tax. The service charge reflects communal maintenance and facilities but is above average and will affect monthly running costs. Prospective buyers should confirm eligibility for shared ownership and factor service charges into affordability calculations.
The building and flat appear modern and well-maintained, with contemporary kitchen fittings and bright rooms. While the apartment is described as average-sized overall, it has sensible storage and the garage adds valuable vehicle or extra storage space. Energy, appliance and exact measurements should be independently checked at viewing.
