Compact, low-maintenance flat with communal facilities near shops and transport.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement flat, approx. 399 sqft
This second-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in Crittenden Lodge offers easy, low-maintenance living close to West Wickham amenities. The building provides practical communal facilities including a residents' lounge, guest suite, entry-phone system and lift, with communal gardens and off-road parking for convenience.
The apartment is compact (around 399 sqft) with a lounge, small kitchen, bedroom and shower room — arranged in a traditional layout ideal for single occupancy or a couple downsizing. Double glazing and recent construction (1991–1995) help with comfort, while electric storage heating keeps heating mains independent of a communal system.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with approximately 85 years remaining, an above-average service charge (£4,402 pa) and a small ground rent (£225 pa). Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow and there is a medium flood risk; these are practical factors to check before committing.
Overall, the flat suits someone looking for a well-appointed retirement setting with onsite community facilities and easy access to shops, transport and local services. It presents a straightforward, low-upkeep home with clear costs to consider and some modernisation potential inside the apartment.
