This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment sits at the top of Biggin Hill, offering easy, independent living with no onward chain. The layout includes a bright lounge/diner, a comfortable bedroom and a modern walk-in shower room designed for accessibility. Residents enjoy communal gardens, a residents’ lounge and conservatory, plus visitor and off-street parking.
The property is offered as leasehold with 92 years remaining and is exclusively for women aged 60+ and men aged 65+. Heating is via electric storage heaters; this is convenient but can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are described as slow in the area, which may affect streaming or home internet use.
Practical positives include double glazing (installed after 2002), a compact but modern bathroom, and an average overall size of about 524 sq ft that makes the apartment manageable to maintain. The building dates from the 1980s and sits in an affluent, low-flood-risk area with local shops and regular bus routes close by. This apartment will suit someone seeking a secure, social retirement setting who is comfortable with leasehold living and electric heating.
