A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment in Heritage Court, offered chain free and presented in immaculate condition. The flat features a bright open-plan kitchen/living/dining area and a principal bedroom with its own en-suite, ideal for low-maintenance living in the city centre. Allocated off-street parking, well-kept communal gardens and on-site communal facilities support a comfortable independent lifestyle with easy access to shops and transport links.
Important practical points are clear: the lease has 59 years remaining and many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this term. Service charge and ground rent are ongoing costs (approximately £3,252 and £190 per year respectively) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can affect running costs compared with gas. The local area scores poorly on deprivation indices and recorded crime is high; buyers should factor neighbourhood conditions into their decision.
This apartment suits an over-55 buyer seeking turn-key retirement accommodation in a managed development, or a cash buyer/investor aware of the lease-length constraint. Fast FTTP broadband, double glazing and communal support facilities add convenience, while the compact layout is best for a single occupant or couple wanting city-centre convenience without extensive upkeep.
All practical and legal details should be checked with solicitors and surveyors, particularly lease length and lender acceptability. The property offers immediate occupation and straightforward living, but the lease and local area factors are material and should guide viewing decisions.
