A compact, ground-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment set in Farmadine House, moments from Saffron Walden’s town centre. The flat offers bright sash windows, a practical layout and communal gardens and parking — features that suit downsizers seeking low-maintenance living close to shops and services. No onward chain supports a quicker move.
The building is a well-maintained, traditional-style block with a house manager, communal sitting room, laundry facilities and a guest room for visitors. The accommodation is efficient: sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Electric storage heating and modest, serviceable finishes mean the flat is usable straight away, with scope for cosmetic updating to add value.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 86 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,288.72 and electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating. The footprint is small (about 517 sq ft), so it will suit single occupants or couples downsizing rather than families needing lots of space. There is off-street parking and communal gardens, and residents must be over 55.
Overall this is a sensible, low-hassle retirement flat in a central town location. It will appeal to buyers prioritising convenience, communal support and a compact home, and to investors looking for a stable rental to older tenants, subject to leasehold considerations and service costs.
