Summary - ST IVES 9 BELLOC CLOSE CRAWLEY RH10 3RY
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance living with 24-hour support and off-street parking.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with walk-in shower bathroom
A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in the sought-after St Ives development, designed for independent living with on-site support. The flat offers a comfortable living room, a modern fitted kitchen, a generous bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a walk-in shower bathroom — all fitted with safety features such as emergency pull cords and a 24-hour response system.
The development provides practical benefits: an Estates/House Manager, off-street parking, double glazing, and communal support services that suit active retirees seeking security and convenience. Local shops, parks and good transport links (regular buses, nearby railway and easy M23 access) keep everyday life straightforward.
Buyers should note a significant practical drawback: only around 61 years remain on the lease. Many mortgage lenders impose strict minimum lease-length criteria and could refuse lending, which may restrict marketability or require a cash purchase or specialist lender. Service charge and ground rent are payable — currently £266 pcm service charge and £50 pa ground rent — so factor ongoing costs into your budget.
This property will suit a downsizer or cash buyer seeking a low-maintenance retirement base with onsite support; it also offers modest potential for personal updating. Prospective purchasers should obtain legal and mortgage advice about lease length and confirm all details with their solicitor prior to offer.
