Seller's “extremely large” size claim — buyer to confirm measurements
This well-presented, chain-free first-floor retirement apartment sits on Baldock High Street and is newly decorated throughout, ready for immediate occupation. The development offers purpose-built facilities useful for older residents: a residents' lounge and kitchen, laundry room, communal gardens, guest room for visitors and an in-house manager with a 24-hour Tunstall pull-cord emergency system.
The accommodation includes a spacious living room, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a tiled bathroom with a heated towel rail and wall fan. Electric storage heaters and double glazing are fitted; the vendor describes the overall size as “extremely large” but buyers should verify internal measurements during viewing and conveyancing.
Practical points for buyers: the property is leasehold (89 years remaining), intended for retirement occupancy and sold chain free. Annual running costs are notable — an estimated service charge of around £4,000 pa and ground rent of £560 pa — and heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas. Communal parking is provided and the High Street location places shops, cafés and transport links within easy walking distance.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a low‑maintenance home with onsite support and social facilities close to local amenities and transport. It provides immediate comfort with scope for personalisation, but lease length and ongoing service costs are material factors to check before proceeding.
