This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance, modern living in a purpose-built development (2007–2011). Presented in good, ready-to-move-in condition, the flat features an open-plan living area, en-suite to the main bedroom and allocated off-street parking — practical for downsizers seeking single-level accommodation.
The property is being offered through Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease example: an indicative Lifetime Lease price of £132,500 (average saving shown) for buyers aged 60+. The full market price is £200,000; actual Lifetime Lease cost varies by age, circumstances and any share chosen (up to 50%). Leasehold terms are long with around 110 years remaining.
Notable running costs and local factors are factual considerations: an average service charge of about £1,740pa and a ground rent of £100pa apply. The immediate area scores high on deprivation indices and has above-average crime statistics — important for buyers to research. The apartment is compact (approximately 549 sq ft) so it suits those wanting manageable space rather than large rooms.
Practical positives include double glazing, gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The building has communal grounds and easy access to local buses and amenities. Overall, the flat is best for over‑60s exploring a Lifetime Lease option, downsizers wanting a low-upkeep home, or investors aware of the local social profile and ongoing charges.
