Set on the second floor with a bay window overlooking well-kept communal gardens, this two-bedroom retirement apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-55s. The block includes a resident manager, 24/7 emergency call system, lift to all floors, guest room, communal drying room and two residents’ lounges — strong support for independent retirement living.
The apartment is an average-sized 681 sq ft with a traditional layout: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and one bathroom. It comes with double glazing and electric storage heaters. The building has a 125-year lease from 1989 (about 88 years remaining) and a service charge of approximately £3,600 per year; there is no ground rent.
Practical buyers will appreciate the accessibility features and onsite support, plus communal gardens and parking for convenience. The property is offered at £140,000 and suits someone seeking a manageable home in a retirement community, or a purchaser willing to update interiors to personal taste.
Important considerations: the flat’s interior is dated and will need modernisation; heating is electric storage, which can be costly. The area is marked as deprived with higher-than-average local crime, so buyers should view in person to assess suitability and security. Service charges are notable and potential "event fees" may apply on purchase — clarify these before committing.
