Summary - Flat 1 The Mallards, 236, High Street, Great Wakering SS3 0HY
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance living close to shops and bus links.
Ground-floor one double bedroom, fitted wardrobes
A bright, well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in The Mallards, positioned on Great Wakering High Street for easy access to shops and bus links. The living space includes an 18' lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with appliances and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes — ready to move into with minimal immediate work.
The development offers a strong communal support package: part-time on-site warden, 24-hour emergency call system, communal lounge, laundry, guest suite and mobility storage. An allocated parking space and landscaped communal gardens add practical convenience for residents and visitors.
Important practical facts are set out plainly: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £3,000 and ground rent of £100 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The apartment is compact (c. 431 sq ft) — suitable for a single occupant or couple seeking low-maintenance retirement living rather than larger family accommodation.
Overall this is a comfortable, easy-care retirement option in a small-town setting with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; buyers should factor in service charges, remaining lease length and electric heating costs when assessing long-term affordability.
