This chain-free, first-floor apartment in Roseacre Gardens is purpose-built for residents aged 55 and over. The two-bedroom layout and communal facilities suit someone downsizing from a larger home who values low-maintenance living and a nearby community.
The flat offers a bright lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower bathroom within about 591 sq ft. Residents benefit from maintained communal gardens, an on-site residents’ lounge and laundry room, plus off-street parking — practical extras for independent retirement living.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a long remaining term (c.151 years), and an annual service charge of around £3,780. Heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing pre-dates 2002, so energy costs may be higher than in homes with gas central heating. The apartment’s footprint is modest, so it suits one or two people rather than those needing extensive storage or large reception space.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located retirement flat offering immediate occupation, community amenities and parking. It will appeal to buyers who prioritise convenience and managed communal grounds, though budget planning should include the service charge and electric heating costs.
