A rarely available one-bedroom retirement apartment set on the second floor of a purpose-built development overlooking well-kept communal gardens and ornamental pond. The accommodation includes a bright sitting room, open-plan fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a walk-in shower room. Lift access, a care alarm system and a manager’s office add practical support and peace of mind.
Designed for ease of living, the building offers a residents’ lounge with conservatory, laundry room, guest room (available on request) and visitor parking. The apartment has double glazing, electric night storage heating and an Energy Efficiency Rating of C. The compact footprint (about 409 sq ft) makes this a manageable home for single occupants or those downsizing.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold, finishes are typical of a 1980s build and heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with modern gas systems. Buyers should verify the lease length, service charges, and the working order of fixtures and the alarm/entry systems before committing. No flood risk and local area amenities and transport links are within easy reach of the village high street.
This property will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance retirement setting with communal facilities and a supportive neighbourhood. It offers a secure, sociable base close to local shops and regular bus routes, but requires acceptance of the compact size and electric heating arrangements.
