Set within the purpose-built Gidea Lodge retirement development, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a peaceful, well-serviced home for someone seeking community living. Each room benefits from natural light and the apartment has only one adjoining wall, helping to create a quieter living environment. Communal facilities include a large lounge opening onto south-facing gardens, a hairdressing salon, and a guest room available by prior arrangement.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, two bedrooms and a shower room. The apartment is a comfortable size (approximately 625 sq ft) and has modern double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — conveniences for staying connected.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 100 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £3,726.39 and ground rent of £360. The wider area records higher crime levels, which should be considered alongside the very affluent and well-served local neighbourhood.
This home will suit a retired buyer seeking communal support and social facilities rather than someone wanting a low-cost, completely maintenance-free option. There is potential to personalise the interior, but any major works should be checked against the building’s service arrangements.
