A spacious two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Beaufort Lodge, built in 2012 and designed for over-60s living. The double-size layout sets this flat apart from others in the block, with a large dual-aspect living/dining room, two bedrooms and a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom — all presented in neutral, move-in condition. communal facilities include landscaped gardens, residents’ lounge and dining area, guest suites, laundry room, on-site manager and a 24-hour careline, with heating included in the service charge.
Practicalities are favourable for town-centre living: off-street residents’ parking and less than a mile from Woking town centre and station (around 25 minutes to Waterloo). The long lease (approx. 111 years remaining) gives security for buyers, and the apartment’s size and layout make it suitable for downsizers seeking sociable communal life and easy access to shops, theatres and local green space.
Buyers should note the annual running costs: a higher-than-average service charge (£4,168.16 pa) and a comparatively expensive ground rent (£713.38 pa). The property is leasehold and located in an area with a higher local crime rate; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves about security and insurance implications. The accommodation is average-sized overall and while presented neutrally it is not a high-spec recent refurbishment, so some cosmetic updates are possible if desired.
No onward chain makes for a straightforward purchase route. This apartment suits a buyer prioritising community amenities, central accessibility and the reassurance of purpose-built retirement provision, rather than someone seeking a low-fee, nil-service arrangement or a fully refurbished show-home finish.
