This two-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Pegasus Court offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Caterham town centre. The development is purpose-built for older residents and includes an Estate Manager, a 24/7 emergency call system, communal lounge and laundry, visitor suite, and gated parking — features that suit someone seeking security and onsite support.
The flat benefits from a sensible layout with an entrance hall, a generous lounge opening to a balcony, a compact kitchen, two bedrooms and a walk-in lockable store on the lower ground floor. The building is modern (constructed 1996–2002) and double-glazed, and the long lease (around 100 years remaining) offers medium-term ownership security for a leasehold purchase.
Buyers should factor the running costs into their decision: the service charge is relatively high at £4,709.18 annually and ground rent is £349. Council tax is also above average. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher bills compared with gas-fired systems. Local crime levels are reported as high, so prospective purchasers should view and assess personal safety and security arrangements.
Location is a strong point for everyday convenience: shops, cafés, bus and rail links, healthcare facilities and a library are nearby, and the M25 is accessible for wider travel. This apartment will appeal to downsizers or retirees who prioritise communal facilities, onsite support and proximity to local amenities, while accepting higher service costs and electric heating.
