Over-55s retirement bungalow with emergency pull-cord system
A well-presented, single-storey bungalow designed for over-55s, set in the peaceful village of Elmstead Market. The living room opens through French doors to a private patio and onto the communal garden—ideal for fresh air without heavy upkeep. The wet room and emergency pull-cord system offer practical, accessible living and peace of mind.
This end-terrace property is compact (approximately 549 sq ft) and easy to maintain, with double glazing and gas central heating. The development is well cared for, with external woodwork recently repainted, paths re-tarmacked and an active warden service organising social events and a weekly shopping bus.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold with about 88 years remaining, a service charge of around £2,655.24 annually and a small ground rent. The size is modest and best suited to downsizers or buyers seeking low-maintenance retirement living rather than more spacious accommodation.
Set in a quiet, semi-rural community with low crime and fast broadband, this bungalow offers safe, sociable retirement living close to local amenities. Buyers should check lease length and service charge details to ensure long-term suitability.
