Set within the Homemoss House retirement development, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living and direct access to well-kept communal gardens. The flat benefits from double glazing, lift access, a communal lounge and laundry, and allocated off-street parking — practical features for independent retirement living.
The layout includes a large entrance hall with a generous walk-in storage cupboard, a roomy lounge with patio doors onto the gardens, a fitted kitchen and a bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Electric storage heating and an electric cooker are in place, making utilities straightforward but potentially higher cost than gas alternatives.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold retirement property with 61 years remaining on the lease. Many mortgage lenders are reluctant to lend on leases under standard thresholds; this may restrict purchase options to cash buyers or those able to secure specialist lending. Service charges and ground rent apply (service charge above average; ground rent £488.18pa) — review of the management accounts is recommended.
Practical drawbacks include slow broadband speeds for this location and above-average local crime rates. The property is sold chain-free and is well-suited to someone seeking a compact, garden-facing retirement flat with good communal facilities, but it is less suitable for buyers who require long residential leases or rapid internet connectivity.
