Summary - 3 SWAN COURT MISTLEY MANNINGTREE CO11 1LN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance retirement apartment with communal gardens — chain free but short lease.
Two-bedroom, first-floor over-55s apartment with bay windows
A compact two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a well-kept over-55s development on the edge of Mistley, offered chain-free. The living room and principal bedroom both enjoy bay windows that bring in natural light, and the apartment is presented in good decorative order throughout. Communal gardens and an off-street parking area give easy outdoor access without maintenance burdens.
This home suits downsizers seeking a low-effort retirement base close to village amenities and Manningtree’s shops, cafes and transport links. Entry is via a secure door and there is a communal lounge for socialising. Broadband is classed as superfast in the area and mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical points: the property runs on electric heating with room heaters rather than a central system, and the annual service charge and ground rent are notable (approx. £2,313.92 and £253.78). The apartment is leasehold with 62 years remaining — below what many mortgage lenders accept, so purchasers should check financing options (cash buyers or specialist lenders may be required).
Overall this is a tidy, low-maintenance retirement apartment in a pleasant village setting. It offers immediate occupation and communal facilities, but buyers must be aware of the limited lease length and ongoing service costs when assessing long-term value.
