A bright, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment within a modern 2016 development, offered chain-free and designed for residents aged 60+. The living room opens directly onto a private garden, and the contemporary fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and good storage make this an easy-to-manage home for downsizers or retirees. Built-in bedroom furniture and a lift-served block add practical convenience.
The development includes well-maintained communal gardens, an owners’ lounge and on-site parking with covered scooter parking. Its town-centre location means shops, restaurants and transport links are a short walk away, while nearby schools and amenities support occasional family visits.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with around 116 years remaining, serviced by a community heating scheme. Service charges are relatively high (approximately £4,830pa) and ground rent is £890pa; council tax is also above average. The local area records higher crime levels, which some buyers may wish to investigate further.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking low-mess, low-maintenance living in a modern retirement-focused development close to Leatherhead town centre. It offers immediate occupation, outdoor space and long lease security, but budget planning should include the service charge, ground rent and council tax commitments.
