This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Riverway Court is purpose-built for over-55s, offering easy access, lift-served communal facilities and a supportive on-site manager. The apartment’s open-plan layout and French doors to a small garden create a light, single-level living space suited to downsizers wanting manageable accommodation close to city amenities.
The development includes a residents’ lounge, guest suite, communal laundry, gated parking and a 24/7 emergency call system — practical features for independent retirement living. The property is leasehold (125 years from 1998) with an average service charge and a separate ground rent; buyers should factor ongoing charges into affordability calculations.
Internally the apartment shows dated decor and some wear; updating the kitchen, bathroom and finishes will modernise the space and add value. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so winter fuel costs may be higher than gas alternatives. The location delivers excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and easy access to local shops and transport.
Important cautions: the local crime level is recorded as very high, and the ground rent is comparatively high. For clarity on any event fees or longer-term running costs, prospective purchasers will need to review the lease and service charge documentation before committing.
