Summary - WESTLEIGH COURT, 2 FLAT 18 NIGHTINGALE LANE LONDON E11 2XA
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement flat close to shops and stations, chain free.
Short walk to Wanstead and Snaresbrook Central line stations
Set within a purpose-built retirement development in the heart of Wanstead, this second-floor one-bedroom flat offers low-maintenance living for those aged 60 and above. The apartment provides a bright living room, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, separate kitchen and bathroom across approximately 484 sq ft — a comfortable size for single occupancy or couple downsizing from a larger home.
The development supports independent living with an on-site residential manager, communal lounge and laundry, a well-maintained garden, lift access and a 24-hour emergency Careline system. The location is a clear strength: short walks to Snaresbrook and Wanstead Central line stations and immediate access to Wanstead High Street shops, cafés and services.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The flat uses electric storage heaters and mains electricity (no communal heating), and glazing is double but installation date is unknown. The lease has 88 years remaining and the annual service charge is £3,216.24. There is communal/off-street parking but no private garden; accommodation is modest and best suited to a single occupant or couple.
This property is chain-free and offers a straightforward move into a social, well-served retirement community. Buyers should note the relatively short remaining lease compared with newer builds, the service charge level, and that the building’s cavity walls are assumed to lack added insulation, which may affect heating costs and future upgrade considerations.
