Compact, low-maintenance flat with communal facilities and town views.
Over-55s one-bedroom retirement apartment, chain-free
A one-bedroom retirement apartment in Victoria Court, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation by an over-55s buyer. The flat sits on an upper floor of a medium/large purpose-built block and delivers a practical layout: entrance hall, lounge/diner with town views, fitted kitchen, bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a bathroom. With double glazing and an EPC rating of B the home is economical to run for its size.
The building is designed for independent retirement living and includes communal facilities that add value: lounge, communal kitchen, laundry, visitors’ suite, gardens and a lift to all floors. These shared amenities suit downsizers who want social space and practical support without the need for full-time care. The apartment is leasehold; buyers should check remaining lease length and any service charges.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: the property uses electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, and it’s small at about 613 sq ft, so storage and room size are limited. The area is described as relatively deprived, which may affect resale or rental prospects. Overall, this is a low-maintenance, well-located retirement flat for someone seeking compact, convenient living with communal support and no onward chain.
