A purpose-built one-bedroom retirement apartment arranged on the first floor of a modern block, offered chain free and designed for independent living for the over-60s. The development includes an on-site manager, residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite (extra charge), lift access and communal gardens — all within easy walking distance of Stevenage town centre, shops and the station.
The flat is compact but practical: a bright lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a walk-in shower room. A new hot water cylinder has been recently installed and the building benefits from UPVC double glazing and an EPC rated B for energy efficiency.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (105 years remaining), with a relatively high annual service charge and ground rent contributing to communal services and buildings insurance. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, and parking is by permit on-site. The immediate area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which will matter to some buyers despite the town-centre convenience.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking low-maintenance, social retirement living close to amenities — or an investor targeting an age-restricted rental market — provided they accept the leasehold costs, electric heating and the local area factors.
