A chain-free, two-bedroom retirement apartment on the third floor with lift access and communal facilities, positioned in the town-centre for easy access to shops and services. The lounge offers far-reaching views and the communal grounds and residents’ lounge provide social space without leaving the building. Virtual-staged images show styling potential; current photos reflect the apartment’s existing presentation.
Practical features include double glazing, Economy 7 electric storage heating and off-street residents’ permit parking. The layout is traditional and compact (approximately 614 sq ft) — suitable for downsizers seeking central convenience rather than large living areas. The property was built in the 1980s and has standard ceiling heights throughout.
Buyers should note material running costs and tenure details: an above-average service charge (£5,097 pa) and a ground rent of £535 pa, with 88 years remaining on the lease. Heating is electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can mean higher energy bills, and the local area records very high crime levels and higher-than-average deprivation. Prospective purchasers must verify lease, service and appliance details independently.
