A compact second-floor retirement apartment offered chain free, set within a modern development with communal gardens and residents’ facilities. The property is aimed at over-60s through the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease, with an indicative Lifetime Lease price of £81,000 (market price £115,000); actual price depends on age and circumstances.
The one-bedroom layout includes a lounge/diner, separate kitchen, bedroom and a walk-in shower room. Practical features include off-street residents’ parking, 24-hour emergency call system, guest suite access and regular communal activities for socialising. Pets (cats and dogs) are generally accepted, subject to lease terms.
Notable costs and constraints: this is a leasehold retirement property with a 99-year lease remaining, an expected service charge around £2,822 per year and ground rent of £615 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the apartment is small at approximately 389 sq ft, which may suit downsizers but feels limited for those with lots of belongings.
Suitable for buyers aged 60+ seeking low-maintenance living with communal support and social opportunities. Interested parties should verify lease and service details and consider ongoing running costs (service charge, ground rent, electric heating) before committing.
