Designed exclusively for buyers aged 55 and over, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living with practical comforts. A light, open-plan lounge/dining room opens onto a sunny balcony overlooking mature trees, creating a pleasant spot for morning coffee or relaxed evenings. The main bedroom includes extensive fitted wardrobes, and the adjoining kitchen is neatly appointed with a leafy outlook.
The building sits in well-tended communal grounds with lawns, seating and mature planting, plus a private allocated parking space at the front. Practical features include double glazing, electric storage heating and a modern shower room. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the apartment suitable for staying connected and enjoying nearby amenities.
Be aware of a few material points: the property is electrically heated via storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas in colder months. The overall internal floor area is small for a two-bedroom home, so it suits buyers seeking downsized, manageable accommodation rather than generous living space. The block is in a peaceful spot near the High Street, but local crime statistics are above average — worth checking if safety is a priority.
The lease is exceptionally long (962 years remaining) and monthly management is £85 (approx. £1,020 per year), which helps preserve resale value and makes ownership straightforward. For buyers aged 55+ who want a ready-to-move-into retirement base with outdoor communal space, allocated parking and easy access to local shops and services, this apartment offers sensible, low-upkeep living with clear, disclosed considerations.
