A compact, ground-floor retirement maisonette for the over-55s, this two-bedroom home offers low-maintenance living in a secluded courtyard setting. The recently refurbished kitchen, double glazing and communal gardens make it practical and comfortable for someone seeking an easy-to-manage property close to local shops and services.
Practical positives include ample communal parking, electric heating, water rates and building insurance included in the service charge, and a small annual ground rent. The layout is efficient across about 551 sq ft, with a bright living room and two bedrooms suited to single or pared-down double occupancy.
Buyers should note a material drawback: the lease has 62 years remaining. This limited term may restrict mortgage options or require a cash buyer; many lenders may refuse to lend. The area has higher crime and local deprivation indicators, which could affect long-term desirability and resale.
Overall this chain-free property will suit a buyer wanting a ready-to-move-in retirement home who values convenience and low upkeep, and who is aware of lease length and local area factors before proceeding.
