A purpose-built over-55s apartment offering practical, low-maintenance living in a popular Millfield Court development. The two-bedroom flat (approximately 549 sq ft) enjoys good natural light, built-in bedroom storage and pleasant communal gardens with attractive views over the common. It is offered with no forward chain and immediate vacant possession, making it a straightforward move for downsizers.
The apartment is in generally hygienic condition with neutral decor and double glazing; the EPC sits in the C band (mid 70s). Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property presents reasonable short-term condition, though modernising the kitchen and bathroom would add value. Internal space is typical for a small two-bedroom retirement flat with limited scope for extension.
Practical points for buyers: the tenure is leasehold with 86 years remaining, an average service charge of £2,500pa and ground rent of £317pa. There is no obvious private parking or garage; the development is well placed for the town centre, bus and rail links, but local crime levels are noted as high. Overall this will suit purchasers seeking a ready-to-live-in retirement home close to amenities, or investors targeting the older-occupier market.
