This two-bedroom cottage in Crittles Court offers easy, low-maintenance living on a purpose-built retirement development for the over-55s. Set around landscaped communal courtyards, the home combines a traditional brick and tile-hung exterior with practical features: fitted kitchen, sitting/dining room and a private patio garden. A single garage and personal alarm system are included, plus onsite estate management for everyday support.
The layout is traditional and comfortably proportioned across approximately 1,042 sq ft, with two double bedrooms and a single bathroom. The development is conveniently situated a short walk from Wadhurst high street amenities, local shops, pubs, and the station — useful for staying connected while enjoying a quieter village setting.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with a 55+ covenant. The current service charge is £6,156 per year (above average) and council tax is described as expensive; these running costs are an important consideration for budgeting. Some internal areas show dated finishes such as older carpeting and will benefit from cosmetic updating to match modern tastes.
Crittles Court suits someone seeking a secure, community-focused lock-up-and-leave home with communal maintenance handled by a not-for-profit management company. It works well for downsizers wanting onsite support and communal amenities, though prospective purchasers should factor in service charges and the leasehold status before proceeding.
