This ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment sits within Valley Court, a purpose-built development for the over-60s. The lounge/diner opens directly onto well-kept communal gardens, and residents benefit from a house manager, lift access, laundry room, and an installed Tunstall security system. The flat offers a practical layout: entrance hall, separate kitchen, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a three-piece shower room. The apartment is approx. 463 sq ft and was constructed in the early 1990s.
The property is leasehold with around 116 years remaining and carries an annual service charge and ground rent (approx. £2,792.66 service charge; £474 ground rent). These fees fund communal services and maintenance but are a material running cost to budget for. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives and may not suit every buyer.
The development sits within a neighbourhood showing higher crime and significant area deprivation, which will affect resale prospects and should be considered alongside its retirement-focused amenities. Council tax is described as cheap and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong—useful for staying connected and arranging care or family visits. Overall, this is a practical, low-stairs option for a buyer seeking a secure, community-oriented retirement flat with outside access and on-site support, provided they accept the ongoing service charges and local area factors.
