Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, approx. 412 sq ft
Set within the established Brook Farm Court retirement development, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment is presented in good order and tailored for over-55 living. The flat benefits from double glazing, electric storage heating and an attractively fitted kitchen and shower room. Communal features include landscaped gardens, a residents’ lounge and off-street parking.
The layout is compact (approx. 412 sq ft) and practical: a medium living room with electric fireplace, a bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a refitted walk-in shower. The property is easy to maintain and suitable for someone looking to downsize to a low-effort home close to local shops, a doctors’ surgery and regular bus services into central Hereford (about 1.5 miles).
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (long lease reported from 1990), occupancy restricted to those aged 55+, and the annual service charge is around £3,269.71. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the hot water and appliances are electric, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Double glazing was installed before 2002.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a secure, purpose-built retirement setting with communal facilities and low-maintenance accommodation. It offers comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation but limited space and ongoing service charges should be weighed into affordability and long-term running costs.
