One-bedroom second-floor apartment with private balcony
A bright one-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment in Mill Green Lodge, ideally suited to downsizers seeking low-maintenance, secure living close to Witham town centre. The living room opens onto a private balcony with views over nearby playing fields; a modern fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances and a useful walk-in storage cupboard sits off the hallway. The double bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and the shower room is fitted with grab rails for safer daily use.
The development is purpose-built for older owners and offers practical communal amenities: a Lodge Manager five days a week, Owners’ Lounge with regular social events, guest suite for visitors, buggy store, lift to all floors and private off-street parking. Safety features include a 24-hour Careline system, secure video entry and comprehensive fire detection.
Practical costs and tenure are straightforward: a 999-year lease (from 2023), no ground rent and an annual service charge of £2,512.86 that covers building insurance, communal utilities, garden and lift maintenance, the Lodge Manager and the Careline system. Council Tax is Band D. The apartment is average-sized at around 603 sq ft and sits in a well-kept, contemporary development a short walk from shops, cafes and regular transport links between Chelmsford and Colchester.
This home is strong on convenience and security for independent retirement living but is best for buyers comfortable with apartment living and communal arrangements. The plot and communal grounds are modest rather than expansive, and the property is a single-bedroom layout, so larger households will find it too compact.
