This ground-floor two-bedroom flat is designed for over-55s who want a low-key, central base close to Buckingham town centre. Set in a modern development with off-road parking and a private outdoor space, the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, bright lounge with sliding doors, kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. The position makes shops, services and transport easy to reach on foot.
Sold chain-free, the property offers immediate occupation or rental potential for downsizers and investors. The apartment is compact (about 430 sq ft) and has practical modern touches such as UPVC double glazing and integrated kitchen appliances. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit those who work or socialise online.
There are clear running costs and limitations to note. The flat is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,312 and electric room heaters as the main heating source. The accommodation is in usable condition but described as an opportunity to make your own — cosmetic updating may be required to modernise finishes and heating. The area has a high local crime rating, which buyers should weigh against the town-centre convenience.
Overall, this is a compact, well-located retirement home for someone seeking low-maintenance town living with parking and outdoor space. It suits downsizers who prioritise location over large internal space, and buyers comfortable with leasehold terms and modest improvement works.
