1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Large, sociable second-floor home near Rayleigh town centre.
Spacious one-bedroom layout originally a two-bedroom design
A spacious one-bedroom retirement apartment in an Over-55s development, positioned on the second floor with lift access and far-reaching views. The layout was reconfigured from two bedrooms to create a generous living/dining space; the bedroom has fitted wardrobes and there is additional private loft storage plus a communal storage cupboard.
Communal facilities suit sociable residents: two lounges, laundry room, well-kept communal gardens, guest suite and off-street parking. Safety features include emergency pull cords and an on-site house manager, and the property is chain-free for a quicker move.
Important practical points: the lease has approximately 72 years remaining — some mortgage lenders may refuse lending or require specialist products. Heating is by electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The local area reports above-average crime levels; buyers should factor location and personal security into their decision.
This apartment is best for buyers seeking a roomy, low-maintenance retirement home close to Rayleigh town centre, with social amenities on-site and easy access to shops and public transport. It offers immediate occupancy and clear potential for modest modernisation where desired. EPC rating C.
