This one-bedroom first-floor flat in Chestnut Court offers a compact, low-maintenance home within an over-58s retirement complex. The flat is chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, with lift access, communal lounge and well-kept shared gardens — practical features for downsizers seeking convenience and community.
The layout is traditional: entrance hall with large storage cupboard, lounge with storage heater, separate kitchen with electric hob and oven, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom with a step-in shower and emergency pull cord. The building dates from the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (about 92 years remaining) and heated by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher energy costs than gas central heating. The flat is modest in size (approximately 385 sq ft) so it suits a single occupant or couple wanting simpler, smaller accommodation. Purchasers must meet the retirement complex age condition (one resident 58+ or one 58+ and partner 50+).
Local amenities are plentiful — shops, supermarkets, healthcare and transport links are nearby — but local crime levels are reported as high, which may affect some buyers’ sense of security. Council tax band C, no flood risk, and excellent mobile and fast broadband make this a practical, connected small retirement flat with clear pros and cons.
