A well-presented two-bedroom retirement home in Silvermead Court, arranged over two levels and offered with no upward chain. The property sits in a popular over-50s development with well-tended communal gardens, an on-site lounge and both allocated and visitor parking — practical features for easy, low-maintenance living.
The layout includes a spacious L-shaped lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, ground-floor bedroom and guest cloakroom, with a larger first-floor bedroom and wet room above. Good local amenities, nearby parks and frequent bus and rail links make this a convenient choice for downsizers who want community facilities close to hand.
Important: the lease has 74 years remaining. This is a material drawback — some mortgage lenders may refuse lending and buyers should obtain specialist mortgage and legal advice. Annual costs are notable: a service charge around £1,400 and ground rent approximately £650 per year.
Overall this is a comfortable, ready-to-live-in retirement home with communal benefits and a large plot setting, suitable for those who can purchase outright or arrange suitable leasehold finance. Prospective buyers should confirm lease terms, lender acceptance and all service charge details with their solicitor before committing.
