Summary - Mill Bridge Close, Retford DN22 6FE
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Affordable starter or rental close to town centre with allocated parking.
No upward chain — immediate possession possible
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom flat offered with no upward chain — suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry into Retford. The property comes with one allocated off-street parking space and is within easy walking distance of the town centre, local shops and transport links including Retford rail station. The long remaining lease (979 years) and low council tax reduce ongoing ownership costs.
The accommodation is traditional in layout with a lounge, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom. The build date (2003–2006) and double glazing suggest relatively modern construction and thermal performance. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for home working or tenant appeal.
Buyers should note a few material negatives: the area records very high crime levels and higher deprivation than average, and the property sits within a medium flood risk zone. The flat is small (approximately 436 sq ft), so space is limited and may not suit those needing larger living areas. Service charge is £950 per year (noted as below average) and the tenure is leasehold — additional leasehold-related fees (e.g., packs) may apply.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-cost purchase for someone prioritising location, transport links and low initial outlay. It offers straightforward rental potential or a manageable starter home, but buyers sensitive to local crime, flood risk or limited internal space should factor these into any offer and consider a survey or local checks before committing.
