Chain-free one-bedroom retirement flat with communal gardens and parking.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with garden access
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Stannard Court, offered chain free and set within well-maintained communal grounds. The flat features a spacious lounge/diner with patio access to the garden, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and garden views, a fitted kitchen and a large shower room. The development includes residents’ parking, a residents’ lounge and warden-assisted facilities, aimed at independent retirees seeking a low-hassle home.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with about 103 years remaining, a service charge of around £3,000 per year and ground rent of £300 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity — that keeps installation simple but may mean higher running costs compared with gas. The apartment is constructed 2003–2006 and benefits from double glazing and an Energy Rating C.
Location and local services are convenient: bus links, shops, cafes and several primary and secondary schools nearby, plus good mobile signal and fast broadband. Buyers should note the area scores higher for crime and relative deprivation, which could affect long-term resale values and personal security perceptions. This home will suit a retiree or downsizer seeking communal support and garden access, or an investor seeking a low-maintenance rental in a well-served development, provided they accept the service charge and local area context.
