A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment offering single-level living with its own private entrance and direct access to communal gardens. The large living/dining room, fitted kitchen and generous double bedroom create a comfortable, bungalow-style layout ideal for downsizers who value ease of access and low-maintenance communal facilities. The development includes a residents’ lounge and a designated parking space, with the convenience of the town centre and mainline station within a short walk.
Practical running costs are clear: service charges run at approximately £2,460 per year and council tax is in Band B. Heating is by electric room heaters and the EPC is currently rated E, so buyers should expect higher energy costs than modern gas-heated properties. The lease has around 88 years remaining — long enough for most buyers but a material factor for mortgage lenders and future resale value.
This no-chain flat suits someone seeking an easy, low-upkeep retirement move close to local amenities and public transport. It offers communal support features suited to over-60 living, but buyers should factor in the electric heating, the EPC rating and the remaining lease term when considering this as a long-term purchase. Note also the local area reports higher-than-average crime — sensible security and insurer enquiries are recommended.
