Compact, supported living close to shops, transport and medical services.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with communal garden views
A bright first-floor one-bedroom retirement flat overlooking well-kept communal gardens. The layout is traditional and compact, with a lounge, bedroom and a shower room fitted with a walk-in bath for easier access. Lift access, a communal lounge and an on-site warden provide practical day-to-day support and sociable communal space.
Situated in a quiet, affluent suburb within easy reach of local shops, public transport and a doctors’ surgery, this development suits someone seeking low-maintenance living close to amenities. The property benefits from double glazing and landscaped grounds, and the building was constructed in the 1980s with later window upgrades.
Important practical points: heating is electric room heaters, the EPC is rated D, and the flat measures around 431 sq ft so space is limited. The lease has about 86 years remaining and the combined costs include a service charge averaging £4,000 and ground rent of £150 — factor these into affordability calculations.
This flat is best for a retiree who prioritises convenience, community and manageable maintenance over spacious accommodation or low running costs. The setting and support services make it an attractive option for downsizers wanting a secure, sociable base near local amenities.
