Ready-to-move one-bed retirement flat near town centre and shops.
Chain free second-floor retirement apartment
A bright, second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment offering a low-maintenance home in the heart of Haywards Heath. Recently redecorated with new carpets and a bathroom updated within the last few years, the flat is ready to move into with minimal immediate work required. Lift access and residents’ parking make day-to-day living easier, while the well-kept communal gardens provide a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation and socialising.
Situated a short walk from Marks & Spencer, Waitrose and the town centre, this apartment gives easy access to shops, cafes and local services — ideal for someone wanting convenience without relying on a car. The property is chain free and located in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical considerations: the home uses electric storage heating, which can be more costly than gas heating, and the flat is leasehold with 87 years remaining. The annual service charge is approximately £3,990, so factor communal costs into your budget. The apartment’s overall size is modest at around 463 sq ft, offering an efficient layout rather than large rooms.
This property will suit a retired buyer or someone downsizing who values location, low-maintenance living and communal amenities. It presents a straightforward purchase with no forward chain but is best for buyers comfortable with leasehold ownership and the heating type.
