A second‑floor, one‑bed retirement apartment in Sanford Court, offered chain‑free and built in 2003. The home suits over‑60s seeking manageable accommodation close to local shops and bus routes into Sunderland city centre. Bright living/dining space and a large bedroom provide comfortable day‑to‑day living, while a residents’ lounge, communal garden and courtyard parking support social and practical needs.
Practical positives include double glazing, an EPC rating of B, lift access to all floors and an estimated 107 years remaining on the lease. Heating is by electric storage and panel heaters, so running costs will reflect electric fuel; council tax sits at Band C. The apartment comes with a ground rent of £350 (confirm exact service charges and any additional fees with your solicitor).
The interior is well proportioned but shows signs of dated fittings in places — the living area and kitchen may benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes. This presents an opportunity to personalise the flat and increase comfort, but buyers should budget for any modernisation and factor that into purchase costs.
Overall this is a low‑maintenance, accessible retirement option in an established, well‑connected development. It will appeal to downsizers prioritising convenience, communal facilities and a ready‑to‑move‑into apartment with scope to refresh over time.
