This one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits in a warden-assisted Over-55s development in central Brandon, a short walk from shops, medical services and the train station to Cambridge and Norwich. The layout offers single-storey convenience: a generous living room, fitted kitchen, conservatory overlooking the private rear garden, and a double bedroom with built-in storage. The conservatory and garden provide pleasant outdoor space with low-maintenance paving and sheds.
Practical considerations are clear and important. The property is leasehold with around 62 years remaining — a level that may restrict mortgage availability for some buyers. There is an average annual service charge of about £2,100 and a small ground rent of £60. Heating is via electric storage heaters and mains fuel is electricity, so running costs should be checked by interested purchasers.
Chain-free sale and the on-site warden make this a straightforward move for someone seeking a secure, low-maintenance retirement base in a central town location. The bungalow’s compact rooms and relatively low ceilings suit downsizers who prioritise accessibility over space. Prospective buyers should obtain lender confirmation and a survey before committing, given lease length and the property’s age and construction.
