A well-maintained two-bedroom ground-floor home specifically for residents aged 50 and over, tucked a stone's throw from Scott Park. The apartment offers single-level living with a private entrance and allocated off-street parking in a secure courtyard, making day-to-day access easy and convenient.
The development is managed with an on-site estate manager, 24-hour care call system and communal maintenance included in the service charge, so the property suits buyers seeking low-effort, supported retirement living. The interior is presented in good condition and ready to move into, with double glazing and an EPC rating of D.
Buyers should note the property is compact (approximately 467 sq ft) and uses electric storage heating, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. The lease has limited remaining years (approximately 87 years reported), with an annual ground rent (£111) and a service charge of about £1,320 per year. A resale transfer fee applies, calculated at 0.5% of the original purchase price for each year of ownership.
The setting gives quick access to parks, local shops and community facilities, but the area records higher crime and significant local deprivation, which may affect long-term resale or investment appeal. Overall, this flat is best suited to an over-50 buyer seeking a compact, low-maintenance home within an established retirement community close to local amenities.
