Set within a purpose-built over-55s development in leafy Broomhill, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living close to local shops and the Botanical Gardens. The well-equipped kitchen with granite worktops and a bright lounge overlooking communal gardens give the flat immediate comfort and appeal for downsizers.
The apartment is compact (approx. 533 sq ft) and arranged for practical independent living: two bedrooms, a modern shower room and useful built-in storage. Residents benefit from communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and attractive walled gardens that create a sociable village atmosphere.
Practical considerations are straightforward and clearly set out. The property is leasehold (171 years remaining), offered chain-free, with an annual service charge around £3,360 and ground rent £250. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity — an important running-cost factor to consider.
This home will suit those aged 55+ seeking a manageable, community-focused flat in a desirable, well-connected neighbourhood. It also has potential for a low-effort rental purchase for investors targeting the local retirement market, though buyers should factor in service charges and electric heating costs.
