This one-bedroom retirement apartment in central Peterborough offers a large open-plan living space and practical, low-maintenance city-centre living for over-55s. The flat sits within a well-kept late-20th-century development with communal gardens and allocated off-street parking, close to shops, restaurants and the train station — convenient for visitors and occasional commuters.
Internally the apartment is presented to a high standard with an impressive kitchen/diner and a versatile open-plan layout that maximises the generous square footage. Double glazing and contemporary finishes deliver a bright, comfortable living environment; broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for staying connected.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 59 years remaining — this is short and could make mortgage approval difficult or restrict some buyers. The service charge and ground rent are significant for a single-bedroom flat (service charge circa £3,252pa; ground rent £190pa). Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives.
The building is in a busy urban area with a high local crime rate and very deprived wider area indicators; buyers should weigh the central convenience and communal facilities against these local factors. Suitable for downsizers or investors who understand leasehold limits and running costs, the apartment offers immediate occupation and scope for modest improvement if desired.
