This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment at Liege House offers practical, secure living for over-60s who value easy access and community. The flat benefits from level access, a 24-hour emergency call system, communal lounge and gardens, and off-street parking — conveniences that suit downsizers seeking low-maintenance, sociable accommodation.
Important practical issues are stated plainly: the property is leasehold with only 39 years remaining. Mortgage lenders frequently refuse loans on short leases, so buyers should check finance options (cash purchasers or specialist lenders are more likely to proceed). The service charge is relatively high — £2,597.70 every six months — and there is a ground rent payable every six months, which affect ongoing costs.
Internally the layout is traditional with a generous living room and two bedrooms across about 625 sqft. Heating is by electric storage heaters and windows are double glazed; buyers should factor potential running costs and check appliance, heating and electrical condition. The building dates from the 1980s and communal areas are maintained, but the apartment will suit those prepared for a straightforward, largely move-in condition home rather than a fully modernised finish.
No onward chain makes the sale straightforward, and the flat’s location in a low-crime, well-connected area with fast broadband and good mobile signal is convenient. Prospective buyers should verify lease details, costs, and lender acceptability before viewing.
