Compact, characterful retirement flat minutes from High Street amenities.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with balcony
A well-presented one-bedroom retirement flat set on the first floor of a converted Victorian terrace, offering independent living with communal support. The apartment benefits from character features such as high ceilings, a balcony off the lounge, and a modern fitted kitchen and shower room finished to a good standard.
Residents have access to a communal lounge and shared laundry facilities, creating social opportunities and practical convenience. The location is highly convenient — moments from the High Street, shops, bus and rail links, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for staying connected.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and small at approximately 438 sq ft, heated by electric storage heaters. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no added insulation and the area shows above-average crime and higher local deprivation, which may concern some buyers. There is no flood risk.
This flat will suit someone seeking a manageable, characterful home close to amenities and community facilities. It offers comfortable, low-maintenance living but will not suit buyers needing generous living space or mains gas central heating; buyers should review lease terms and running costs before committing.
