Situated on the ground floor of a popular retirement development, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living for residents aged 60 and over. The bright dual-aspect lounge opens via patio doors onto a communal seating area, while both bedrooms are doubles with fitted wardrobes—useful storage for downsizers. On-site facilities include a residents’ lounge, well-kept communal gardens, lift access, on-site manager and Careline alarm monitoring for added peace of mind.
Practical running costs and ownership details are clear: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge averaging £3,912 per year and council tax at Band D. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel — buyers should note ongoing energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Double glazing is present though the installation date is unknown.
The development sits in a convenient location near South Woodford, Gants Hill and Barkingside with frequent bus routes and local amenities close by. Communal off-street parking and level access make day-to-day life easier. The apartment’s overall internal area of about 603 sq ft is typical for a two-bedroom retirement flat and will suit someone seeking a manageable home rather than large-family accommodation.
This property is best for a downsizer or buyer seeking a retirement purchase with support facilities and low-exterior maintenance. Important considerations are the remaining lease term, the annual service charge, and electric heating; viewers should factor these into affordability and long-term plans.
