Sunny one-bedroom retirement flat with garden views, chain free and centrally located.
Ground-floor retirement apartment with south-west garden aspect
A bright ground-floor retirement apartment tucked to the rear of a modern brick development, this one-bedroom flat enjoys a sunny south-west aspect directly over well-kept communal gardens. The living room opens onto garden views and the compact layout is easy to manage for single occupants or couples looking to downsize.
Practical features include double glazing and modern slimline electric storage heaters; the wet-room style shower and light wood-effect kitchen give straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation. At around 477 sq ft the rooms are average-sized and feel comfortable rather than spacious.
Important facts: the property is leasehold and sold chain free, making a quick move possible. Heating runs on electric storage heaters (main fuel: electricity) and the building dates from the 1980s, so buyers should expect typical maintenance costs for an older development and check lease length and service/ground rent details.
Location is a central Exeter position close to shops, transport and amenities with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — good for staying connected. Note the wider area profile: higher local crime statistics and relative area deprivation; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and services.
Overall this apartment offers a low-upkeep, well-located retirement home with pleasant garden outlook and clear value for a downsizer or investor, provided you are comfortable with electric heating, leasehold ownership and the local area characteristics.
