Low-maintenance retirement living with communal facilities and off-street parking.
Purpose-built sheltered first-floor flat for over-60s or over-55s with disability
A purpose-built sheltered retirement flat on the first floor within a well-maintained development for over-60s (or over-55 with registered disability). The two-bedroom layout and communal grounds give straightforward, low-maintenance living with off-street parking and shared facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry and Careline monitoring.
The property is compact at about 571 sq ft, with double glazing and electric storage/room heating. Service charge is £261 per month and council tax band is low, which helps with predictable running costs. The communal gardens are attractive and the block sits in a residential area with good local amenities and transport links.
Important: the lease has around 63 years remaining. That is a material issue—many mortgage lenders will refuse loans on short leases, so buyers should check mortgage eligibility or plan to purchase with cash or a specialist lender. The flat carries an EPC rating of E and the interior has dated fixtures, so some updating would improve comfort and value.
This is best for a downsizer or investor looking for sheltered accommodation income, or for a buyer who can manage a purchase without standard mortgage finance. The building’s communal support and central location suit someone seeking convenience and community while accepting the lease and refurbishment considerations.
