Quietly positioned on the ground floor of Lancaster House, this one-bedroom retirement apartment offers accessible, low-maintenance living in central Ickenham. The layout centres on a bright circa 20ft living room that opens onto a private patio, with a separate modern fitted kitchen and a well-sized double bedroom. The long lease (990 years) and EPC B bring practical reassurance for longer-term ownership.
Designed for over-60s, the development provides useful communal facilities: landscaped gardens, mobility scooter storage with charging points, a guest suite, and a 24-hour emergency call system. The secure entry phone, private front door and double glazing add to a safe, comfortable living environment close to shops, cafés and nearby tube stations for easy travel.
Buyers should note the annual service charge and ground rent figures: a higher-than-average service charge of £4,323 per year and ground rent of £495 per year. On-site parking is available but subject to availability and extra charges, and broadband speeds are slower than the typical urban standard. Heating is via a communal scheme rather than an individual boiler, which may affect running costs and control preferences.
Overall, this apartment suits a retirement buyer seeking a secure, well-maintained home with immediate access to local amenities and public transport, provided they are comfortable with communal services and the associated charges.
