This second-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat at Westwood Court offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Enfield Town. The large reception room with a dormer-style window provides good natural light and a flexible space for sitting and dining. Lift access, a communal lounge, and well-kept gardens create an easy, sociable environment for over-60s.
Practical conveniences include communal off-street parking, a 24-hour emergency call system and direct bus routes outside the building — useful for those who prefer not to drive. The apartment is offered chain free and sits within a purpose-built block from the early 1990s, with double glazing already installed.
Notable costs and constraints are clear: the lease has about 91 years remaining, the service charge is high at £5,521pa and the ground rent is £642pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas) and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect those needing reliable internet for streaming or frequent video calls.
Overall, this compact 612 sq ft flat suits a downsizer or retirement buyer seeking communal facilities, straightforward access to town amenities and public transport. It will particularly appeal to buyers prioritising safety, community and low-exertion maintenance, but budget-conscious purchasers should factor in the above-average service charges and ongoing energy and communications costs.
