This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Rapley Rise offers practical, low-maintenance living for buyers looking to downsize. At 463 sq ft the layout is compact but dual-aspect living space brings light to the lounge/kitchen. Allocated off-street parking and a small communal garden reduce maintenance burden.
The property is offered chain-free and sits on a long lease (118 years remaining). It is being marketed with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £178,500 for over-60s, typically reflecting savings versus the full market price of £270,000 — actual Lifetime Lease price varies by age and circumstances. Buyers should confirm personalised figures with Homewise or use their online calculator.
Practical running costs include an average service charge of £3,085 and ground rent around £340 per year. The flat is leasehold and has one bathroom; its compact size and service charges may suit someone seeking convenience rather than extra space. Broadband is fast, crime is very low and local shops, buses and schools are within walking distance.
This is a straightforward, low-upkeep option for downsizers seeking a retirement-positioned home with parking and good local amenities. All details should be independently verified, including lease terms, service charge cover and any appliance condition.
