Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with private garden and refurbished kitchen.
Purpose-built over-55s ground-floor apartment with private rear garden
A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-55s complex, well suited to someone seeking a compact, low-maintenance retirement base near Peterborough city centre. The flat benefits from a private rear garden, communal parking and landscaped grounds, and a recently refurbished kitchen with built-in oven. Living space is sensible rather than generous, with an open lounge/diner and direct garden access.
Practical comforts include UPVC double glazing, modern shower room and fitted bedroom storage. Heating is by electric storage radiators and the apartment is all-electric, which keeps installation simple but may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The ground-floor position makes access easy but check mobility and security needs in person.
Important points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with approximately 86 years remaining on the lease, and additional leasehold-related fees may apply (service charges, careline options). The local area shows higher crime and considerable deprivation, so prospective buyers should consider security and local amenities before committing. Council tax is very low, and the block offers communal facilities including a lounge, laundry and optional careline support.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to downsizers wanting a maintained, move-in-ready retirement flat close to shops and services. It offers a private garden and recent internal updates, but buyers should review lease terms, ongoing charges and running-cost implications from electric heating.
