This ground-floor retirement apartment offers single-level, low-maintenance living in a supportive Kimbolton Court community. The compact two-bedroom layout and level access suit buyers aged 55+ who want easy mobility, sociable communal facilities and a manageable footprint. The communal lounge and regular events give social opportunities without leaving home.
The flat is bright with a modest but modern kitchen and an accessible bathroom. Practical features include double glazing (install date unknown), electric storage heating and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for staying connected and entertained. Local shops, healthcare, bus links and green spaces are all within easy reach.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and carries a service charge of £305 and ground rent of £180. The area records high crime and very high deprivation scores; buyers should factor this into suitability and security considerations. The apartment is small at about 549 sq ft and will suit one or two occupants rather than those needing generous space.
Overall this is a sensible, low-upkeep retirement option for downsizers who prioritise community, convenience and ground-floor access. It may also appeal to investors seeking a retirement-let in a well-managed development, provided they accept the leasehold terms and local area context.
