Accessible, low‑maintenance retirement flat close to town amenities and transport links.
First-floor over‑55s flat with lift access
A well-kept, first-floor over-55s apartment in Albion Court, offering convenient town-centre living and practical communal facilities. The flat has a spacious lounge with a Juliet balcony, a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, and pleasant views over maintained communal gardens. Lift access, a residents’ car park, communal lounge, laundry room and a 24-hour emergency careline make day-to-day life easier for downsizers seeking low‑maintenance living.
Be realistic about running costs and technical details: the development charges a significant service charge (about £3,273pa) and an annual ground rent of £552. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building relies on electricity rather than a communal fuel system, which may affect utility bills. The Energy Performance Rating is C.
There is a material lease-length concern flagged in the details (reported as between c.74 and c.98 years remaining); this can restrict mortgage options and is important to confirm before committing. The area has higher crime and relative deprivation statistics, though the location places shops, theatres, transport links and parks within easy walking distance for convenience and social life.
Overall this flat will suit an over‑55 buyer who wants an accessible, town‑centre retirement base with communal support and well‑maintained grounds, and who is comfortable with the service charges, electric heating and the need to verify lease and lending implications before purchase.
