A compact one-bedroom retirement flat in Ormond House, positioned in the heart of Rochford town centre. The apartment sits within a purpose-built over-60s complex (constructed 1996–2002) and offers communal lounge, gardens, laundry, guest facilities and a visiting house manager — useful daily support and social space without leaving home.
The flat is small (around 410 sq ft) with traditional layout, double glazing and electric storage heating. Its bay-window living room brings natural light but would benefit from a light decorative refresh; the shower room provides practical, single-level accommodation. Secure entry and nearby public transport, shops and a mainline station make errands and visits straightforward.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold and located in an area with higher crime and general deprivation, which may influence personal security and resale. Heating is electric storage heaters (no communal fuel), and the building appears timber-frame with assumed insulation — buyers should confirm service charges, lease length and any communal maintenance liabilities.
This flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable, low-upkeep retirement base close to amenities and public transport. It provides immediate occupation potential with modest cosmetic updates and the reassurance of on-site communal facilities and a visiting manager.
