A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat offering easy, low-maintenance living in the heart of Park Gate. At about 601 sq ft the apartment feels bright and practical, with a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with appliance space, and direct access to the communal garden — ideal for time outdoors without stairs.
The principal bedroom features a built-in wardrobe and contemporary en-suite wet room; the second bedroom also has fitted storage and its own rear access for added privacy. Residents enjoy a communal lounge, resident and visitor parking, and a friendly community atmosphere close to shops, cafés and the train station for straightforward travel.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 63 years remaining. This is short enough that some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend. The flat is compact in overall size and the local area reports higher-than-average crime levels, so buyers should factor these issues into any offer and arrange suitable mortgage and security checks.
Overall this apartment suits a downsizer seeking convenient, social retirement living with low upkeep and good local amenities, but it is best for buyers who can fund purchase without relying on a long-lease mortgage or who can secure specialist lending.
