Quiet, practical and well-located, this top-floor retirement apartment sits within an attractive red-brick block a short walk from Bury St Edmunds town centre. The layout offers two double bedrooms, a generous dual-aspect living room and a separate kitchen plus useful utility and storage cupboards — practical space for comfortable downsizing.
Residents benefit from well-maintained communal gardens, ample off-street parking and a 24-hour emergency care call line. The development requires purchasers to be over 60 and approved by the Sanctuary Housing Association, providing a secure, community-focused environment.
Buyers should note the material lease issue: approximately 60 years remaining on the lease, which could restrict mortgage availability and affect future saleability. Service charge is about £270/month and ground rent £60/year. The kitchen shows dated 1980s fittings and may need updating to suit modern tastes, though much of the accommodation appears in reasonable condition.
Offered chain-free with vacant possession, this property will suit over-60s seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located apartment with communal support and outdoor space. Investors should be aware of lease length and lender restrictions before proceeding.
