Top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with Juliet balcony
This top-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in Millfield Court offers comfortable, low-maintenance living in Ifield. The bright living room features a Juliet balcony and a feature electric fireplace; double doors open to a compact fitted kitchen. The double bedroom includes built-in mirrored wardrobes and the bathroom has a walk-in shower and heated towel rail.
Designed for independent retirees, the development includes an on-site house manager, 24-hour care line, communal lounge, guest suite and laundry, plus mobility scooter storage. Lift access serves all floors and ample off-street parking is available. The property is offered chain free and sits on a long lease (about 107 years remaining).
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, and the annual service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing costs. The area has higher-than-average crime and broader local deprivation indicators, which may concern some buyers. Lease, service charge and ground rent figures should be confirmed with your solicitor.
Overall, the apartment is well-suited to a downsizer seeking a secure, social retirement community with on-site support and low internal maintenance. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the layout and communal facilities.
