This second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment offers tidy, low-maintenance living close to Wickford town centre. The flat benefits from a modern fitted kitchen and shower room, a double bedroom with built-in furniture and a bright lounge — practical accommodation suited to downsizers or those seeking a manageable home in a purpose-built block.
The development provides communal amenities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room, attractive communal gardens and residents-only off-street parking. Windows are double glazed and the communal grounds are well kept, giving a pleasant, social environment for occupants aged 55 and over.
Important finance and maintenance notes: the property is leasehold with approximately 61 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders apply stricter criteria or may refuse lending on shorter leases — buyers should confirm lending options and factor potential lease-extension or purchase implications into any offer. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating; service charge and ground rent figures are to be confirmed.
Presented chain-free and in tidy condition, the flat is best suited to retirees seeking convenience, communal facilities and easy access to local shops and transport. It will particularly appeal to buyers who can purchase without a conventional mortgage or who are prepared to address the lease length before completion.
