This unusually spacious ground-floor apartment offers an easy, low-key retirement lifestyle in a period conversion on Park Road. At approximately 1,366 sq ft it feels more like a small house, with two large reception rooms, generous bedrooms and high ceilings that retain lots of natural light. Communal gardens and on-site off-road parking add practical outdoor and parking convenience.
The flat sits within an over-55s complex and is chain free, so move-in is straightforward for downsizers or those seeking a lock-up-and-leave arrangement. A basement provides significant built-in storage, and the layout includes a large kitchen/dining room and a wet room to aid accessibility. Mobile signal and broadband are strong, supporting home connectivity and services.
There are material points to note: the property is leasehold (105 years remaining) with an average service charge of £2,396 per year. The building was constructed in the 1930s with solid brick walls and no known insulation upgrades, so buyers should expect potential works to improve thermal performance and running costs. The immediate area scores as more deprived with higher local crime levels; some buyers may want to check neighbourhood safety and support services.
Overall, this flat will suit retirees who prioritise generous living space, period character and proximity to local shops and services, and who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the likely need for targeted maintenance or energy-efficiency improvements.
