Set within a quiet over-55s development in sought-after Nether Edge, this recently renovated two-bedroom flat offers practical, low-maintenance living. The interior is well kept with a modern kitchen, contemporary shower room and sensible layout across 610 sq ft — suitable for a single occupant or couple wanting independence with on-site support.
Safety and convenience are strong features: lift access, resident off-street parking, and integrated emergency pull-cords in every room connect to a monitoring service. Communal grounds are maintained and the development is peaceful, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for staying connected.
Buyers should note important tenure and construction details. This is a 70% shared-ownership leasehold with 62 years remaining on the lease — a short remaining term that may deter some mortgage lenders and could require a lease extension. The building’s timber-frame walls are recorded as originally uninsulated (assumed), and double-glazing install dates are unknown, which may affect long-term energy upgrades despite an EPC grade C.
Practical positives include very low council tax (Band A), mains gas central heating and a recent refurbishment that reduces immediate maintenance. This property suits downsizers or retirees seeking a secure, modern home with communal support — but buyers must factor in shared-ownership terms and the lease length when arranging finance or future resale.
