This well-proportioned two-bedroom home sits within the peaceful, over‑55s North Mill Place development close to Halstead High Street. Set in attractive communal grounds around a historic mill, the development offers social spaces, landscaped gardens and a quiet, community-focused atmosphere ideal for downsizers seeking convenience and companionship.
Inside, the layout is practical and spacious: a front living room, separate dining area, fitted kitchen and ground‑floor shower room, plus two double bedrooms with built‑in wardrobes and a first‑floor bathroom. A generous landing is already used as a home office or hobby space. The property includes a private courtyard garden and a garage for secure parking.
Residents benefit from on‑site support and amenities including two managers, a laundry room, a bookable guest suite and a complimentary weekly minibus to Sudbury. The home is bright with double glazing and offers approximately 1,082 sq ft of accommodation — roomy for single occupants or couples downsizing from larger houses.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and was built in the mid‑1990s. Main heating is by electric room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with central heating. Council tax is above average for the area and local crime levels are recorded as above average. Flood risk is low.
