A bright, chain-free one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of a modern development in Winchmore Hill Road. The apartment offers a long 22ft reception room, a generous 19ft bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a compact fitted kitchen — a practical layout that suits downsizers or retirees wanting generous room sizes without stairs. Double glazing and electric storage heaters provide basic comfort, and the development benefits from a lift for step-free access.
Residents enjoy well-kept communal gardens, a communal lounge, laundry room and guest facilities, plus allocated and visitor parking — useful for family visits and local errands. The block sits within walking distance of Grovelands and Oakwood parks, local shops, buses and Piccadilly Line (Southgate) and Winchmore Hill stations, making it easy to access central London and nearby amenities.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with approximately 109 years remaining. Service charges and ground rent are significant: an average service charge of £3,720pa and ground rent of £495pa. Heating is electric storage heaters (no communal gas) and the main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs for some buyers.
Overall, this apartment suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance, well-located retirement home with communal facilities and parking. It offers immediate occupation with chain-free sale, but factor in ongoing service charges and electric heating when assessing affordability.
