Compact, low-maintenance apartment close to shops and transport links.
Chain-free second-floor retirement apartment with lift access
This second-floor, purpose-built retirement apartment in Hampton Hargate offers practical, low-maintenance living with no onward chain. The block has a lift to the second floor and communal parking, and the layout provides a comfortable lounge/diner, compact kitchen with integrated appliances, two bedrooms and a bathroom — all within a modest 507 sq ft footprint.
The apartment will suit an over-60s buyer seeking convenience and proximity to local amenities including Serpentine Green shopping centre and good transport links. Double glazing and modern construction (2003–2006) reduce immediate maintenance, while the 106-year lease provides long-term security.
Buyers should note the above-average service charge (£5,192 pa) and a small ground rent (£230 pa); these add to annual holding costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The property sits in an area recorded with higher crime levels, so buyers should consider security and insurance factors.
Overall, this chain-free, ready-to-move-in flat offers straightforward retirement living close to shops and transport, but brings higher service costs and electric heating to factor into budgets.
