This first-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Rosebery Court is offered with no upper chain and presented in good order. It suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance, age-restricted living close to Leighton Buzzard town centre, with communal facilities and regular on-site social activities.
The apartment features a refitted bathroom, a refitted shower room, newly fitted carpets and double glazing. Accommodation comprises entrance hall with storage, a bright living/dining room, an open-plan kitchen and a roomy bedroom. Communal amenities include a social lounge, laundry, library, hairdresser and communal gardens and parking (subject to availability).
Important practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with approximately 62 years remaining. This limited term may restrict mortgage options and some lenders could refuse to lend. Heating is by electric room heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can affect running costs. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and local crime levels are reported as high.
This is a straightforward, low-upkeep retirement home close to shops, regular transport links and nearby green spaces. It will particularly suit a cash buyer or someone able to arrange specialist lending, who wants a sociable, convenient base rather than a long-term investment dependent on mortgage availability.
