Set within a well-kept over-55s development in Weeke, this recently modernised one-bedroom apartment offers compact, comfortable retirement living close to Waitrose and local amenities. The apartment has been updated throughout and benefits from double glazing, a modern shower room with a fitted seat, and a bright lounge/dining space that flows from a practical kitchen.
Residents enjoy communal gardens, off-street parking, a part-time warden, lift access, a stair lift and a communal laundrette — amenities that support independent living with on-site convenience. The apartment is compact at about 431 sq ft, making it straightforward to maintain and ideal for downsizers who want a low-fuss home near shops and services.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold with 61 years remaining and a service charge averaging £3,290 pa. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on shorter leases, so buyers should check finance options before proceeding. Heating is electric storage heaters (not a communal system), which can affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
This apartment suits someone seeking a ready-to-move-into, low-maintenance retirement base with nearby amenities and community support. The recently modernised condition reduces immediate repair needs, but prospective buyers should factor in service charges, remaining lease length, and electric heating when assessing long-term suitability.
