This one‑bedroom apartment in Ullswater Court offers a low‑maintenance retirement base in the heart of South Woodford, a short walk from George Lane and the Central Line. Situated on the first floor at the end of the building, the flat benefits from extra natural light, a modern kitchen and shower room, and fitted wardrobes in the double bedroom — ready to move into with minimal work.
The development is tailored for the over‑55s and includes communal facilities, an on‑site building manager, a 24‑hour emergency call system and a reception lounge, which together provide practical daily support and social space. Resident off‑street parking adds convenience for visitors or a car owner.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with approximately 86 years remaining, and the annual service charge is around £3,803. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity (no communal gas). There is no on‑going chain, but prospective buyers should ask their solicitor to confirm all lease details and charges before committing.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a central, walkable location close to shops, cafes and transport, who value communal support and a move‑in ready retirement home. It may be less suitable for those wanting a long lease, gas central heating or a very low service charge.
