A practical, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of South Woodford, steps from George Lane shops and the underground. The living room opens through patio doors onto a communal garden, offering fresh air and easy access without stairs. On-site support includes a Resident Manager and a 24/7 emergency call system for peace of mind.
At about 440 sq ft this is an average-sized single-bedroom home suited to someone downsizing or seeking independent retirement living with local amenities on the doorstep. The lease has 86 years remaining and the property is sold leasehold — buyers should check lease terms and ground rent before committing. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent.
Important cost note: the service charge is very high (listed as £42,300) and will materially affect affordability; confirm what this covers and any planned future contributions. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, so prospective residents should consider security needs despite the building’s secure entry and communal management.
Overall, this flat offers convenience, community support and garden access in a well-connected part of South Woodford, but suitability depends heavily on tolerance for high ongoing service charges and local crime considerations.
