Summary - SYDNEY COURT, 7 - 13 FLAT 18 LANSDOWN ROAD SIDCUP DA14 4EF
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Modern two-bedroom first-floor apartment with care on-site and park views.
Balcony overlooking park and landscaped communal gardens
A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Sydney Court, designed for independent retirement living with on-site support. The living room opens to a balcony overlooking Waring Park, and the modern kitchen is fitted with NEFF appliances — practical, low-maintenance fixtures throughout. Built in 2017, the apartment benefits from underfloor electric heating and full fibre broadband for easy connectivity.
The development is McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living Plus, offering an Estate Manager, CQC-registered staff on-site, a bistro-style restaurant, communal lounge, laundry, mobility scooter store and guest suite. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included in the service charge; additional care can be arranged if needed. Lifts serve all floors and there are good local transport links with Sidcup station under half a mile away.
Buyers should note this is leasehold with a long lease (999 years from 2017) and an annual ground rent of £595. The service charge is high at £15,644.22 for the year to 30 June 2026, which covers extensive communal services and on-site staffing. Heating is electric underfloor — efficient but reliant on electricity tariffs and potentially more costly than communal gas systems.
This apartment suits someone seeking a secure, sociable retirement setting with immediate access to care services and communal amenities. It offers low-maintenance living and park views, but the ongoing service charge and ground rent are important factors for budgeting and should be reviewed alongside available entitlements advice.
