A one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Cromwell Lodge, set within well-kept communal gardens and close to local shops and bus routes. The building is served by a lift and offers generous resident facilities including a lounge, guest suites, launderette and on-site salon — useful daily conveniences for independent older residents.
Safety and support are strong features: a visiting development manager, a 24/7 Appello emergency call system and televised entry to each flat provide reassurance. The apartment is an average-sized one-bedroom with an open-plan lounge/kitchen, double glazing and off-street residents’ parking, all within easy reach of the nearby railway station.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the lease has around 61–62 years remaining which may make mortgage approval difficult or impossible with many lenders. Heating is by electric storage heaters (higher running costs than gas) and there is no communal storage specifically for mobility scooters. These are material considerations for finance, running costs and mobility needs.
This flat will suit older purchasers seeking convenience, onsite support and proximity to local amenities. For those able to buy outright or accept the lease and heating arrangements, it offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with useful communal services and transport links nearby.
