Summary - CRITTENDEN LODGE FLAT 21 POND COTTAGE LANE WEST WICKHAM BR4 0QD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact one-bedroom retirement flat with communal facilities and parking, close to shops and transport.
Second-floor retirement flat with lift and entry-phone system
A compact, well-located second-floor retirement flat offering practical, low-maintenance living close to shops and transport. The development provides communal facilities — a residents' lounge, guest suite, entry-phone and lift — that support independent retirement living and occasional visitors without the need to manage stairs.
At about 399 sq ft the layout is deliberately modest: one bedroom, a living room, small kitchen and shower room. The flat's end-terrace block is modern in appearance with double glazing and communal gardens; off-road parking is available for residents. Mobile signal is excellent and local crime levels are very low, which add to everyday peace of mind.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with c.85 years remaining, an above-average service charge (£4,402 pa) and a small ground rent (£225 pa). Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds in the area have been reported as slow — factors to consider if you rely on fast internet or want cheaper running costs. There is a medium flooding risk noted for the area.
This flat will suit a downsizer or someone seeking a manageable, community-minded home near West Wickham amenities. It offers convenience and communal support but comes with higher service charges and electrical heating costs; viewings will show whether the compact layout meets your needs and budget.
