A comfortable two-bedroom retirement apartment set on the first floor of a modern development in Ilford. The flat offers lift access, a residents’ lounge, communal gardens and off-street parking — practical features for independent living with support nearby. The apartment measures about 64 sqm (688 sq ft) with double glazing and electric storage heaters, finished in a straightforward, low-maintenance style.
The development includes a 24-hour emergency call system and an on-site manager, making it suitable for those seeking reassurance and a friendly community. The location is convenient for Ilford town centre, local shops, bus routes and Ilford Station — useful for visitors and day-to-day errands.
Important practical points: annual service charges are high at £5,520, and the area records a very high crime level, which may affect perceived safety. There is inconsistent tenure information in the paperwork (one source states Freehold while other details note a 102-year lease); prospective buyers should verify title and tenure before committing.
Overall, this apartment will suit an older buyer wanting low-mobility-friendly living with communal support and good local connections, provided they are comfortable with the service charge level and take care over verifying the legal tenure and local safety considerations.
