Summary - 4, WESTCOMBE LODGE DRIVE UB4 8HQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Secure, low-maintenance retirement living close to shops and transport.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with private patio
A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-55s development, offering low-maintenance living with practical comforts. The bright reception room opens through French doors to a private patio, while a modern fitted kitchen and shower room mean minimal immediate work is required. Allocated off-street parking and a communal social lounge add convenience and sociability.
The development benefits from an on-site manager and 24-hour assistance, making it suitable for those seeking reassurance and community activities. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent; the area has very low crime and is within walking distance of shops and transport links, including routes towards Hayes and the Elizabeth line.
Buyers should note some important practical points: the remaining lease is about 61 years, which may limit mortgage availability and could affect long-term resale value. The service charge is around £3,804 per year, and main heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives.
Overall, this modest 451 sq ft apartment suits a single occupier or couple looking to downsize into a secure, well-managed retirement setting. It presents a straightforward, move-in-ready option but requires careful consideration around lease length and running costs.
