A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment set within a purpose-built modern block, offered chain-free and with direct access to communal gardens. The flat is presented in good decorative order, with a generous lounge/diner, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a fitted kitchen. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, laundry room, guest suite and a 24-hour emergency call system — features that suit someone downsizing or seeking on-site support.
Important practical points are straightforward: the flat is small (386 sq ft) and heated by electric storage heaters, so ongoing energy costs may be higher than for gas-heated homes. The lease has approximately 41 years remaining — this is a material issue as many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on properties with limited lease length. There is also a high annual service charge of £5,000 and a ground rent of £500, which will affect overall running costs and affordability.
For a buyer who values low-stairs living, on-site support and proximity to local amenities, this property offers immediate move-in potential and quiet communal grounds. However, prospective purchasers should seek early mortgage advice about lease length and factor service charges and electric heating costs into their budget. An internal viewing is recommended to judge room sizes and layout in person.
