This well-presented one-bedroom, first-floor apartment sits within Guernsey Court, an exclusive over-60s development just 0.2 miles from Maldon’s historic High Street. Light fills the living/dining room through a large picture window and the flat includes two hall cupboards and loft access for extra storage. Communal gardens and residents’ parking add practical outdoor space and convenience.
The development is managed with a part-time on-site manager (16 hours weekly) and the current service charge is £261.38pcm, rising to £298.32pcm from April 2025; this covers building insurance and water rates. The property is leasehold with 92 years remaining and has electric storage heaters, which are efficient for some users but can mean higher running costs depending on tariffs.
This apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home within easy walking distance of shops, amenities and transport links. The building is established and attractive externally but shows some exterior staining and moss that suggest ongoing communal maintenance. Buyers should note it is a modest-sized home (approximately 447 sq ft) better suited to single occupancy or a couple happy with compact living.
Practical matters to check at viewing: confirm the service charge budget and any planned future works, review the lease terms, and consider heating running costs and suitability of electric storage heating for personal needs.
