Summary - EMERALD COURT, 76 FLAT 26 BRIGHTON ROAD COULSDON CR5 2BB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal over-60s flat with lift and communal amenities near shops and stations.
Chain-free second-floor retirement flat, over-60s only
This chain-free retirement flat on the second floor is designed for over-60s seeking low-maintenance, central Coulsdon living. The one-bedroom layout includes a fitted bedroom wardrobe, separate kitchen and a shower room, with lift access and residents’ parking for easier mobility.
Communal facilities add convenience: a residents’ lounge, guest suite and laundry room support visiting family and independent living. Local transport links are strong—two nearby stations and multiple bus routes offer straightforward journeys to London, Gatwick and the South Coast, while High Street shops and supermarkets are within easy walking distance.
Practical drawbacks are clear: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property has very slow broadband speeds. The flat shows 1980s fixtures and worn carpeting, so cosmetic updating will be needed for those wanting a fresher interior. It is leasehold with 91 years remaining and sits in an area with higher local crime and relative deprivation, matters to consider for security and long-term value.
