Summary - KINGSWOOD COURT, 175 FLAT 18 CHINGFORD MOUNT ROAD LONDON E4 8LL
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free apartment with communal facilities and 24-hour emergency careline.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement flat for over-60s
A first-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Kingswood Court, built by McCarthy & Stone and reserved for residents aged over 60 (or a couple meeting the age criteria). The block offers communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, communal garden, lift to all floors and a 24-hour Appello emergency response system with a Development Manager on site during set hours.
The flat is an average-sized, open-plan layout with double glazing and a spacious lounge/diner that benefits from natural light. Practical features include communal parking (unallocated) and easy access to local amenities, shops and public transport — appealing for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living close to services.
Notable considerations: the kitchen and some internal fittings are dated and would benefit from modernisation. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas. The property is leasehold with 96 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £3,800 and ground rent around £520, which are material ongoing costs to budget for.
Sold with no onward chain, this apartment suits an older buyer wanting community living and onsite support, or an investor seeking a retirement-let opportunity, but factor in refurbishment needs and the relatively high service and ground rent when assessing affordability.
