This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Riverside Court offers a compact, low‑maintenance home for over‑55s seeking convenient town living. The flat is chain-free and ready to occupy, with communal parking and managed communal areas providing practical, social living without garden upkeep.
Accommodation is efficient: an open reception room, separate kitchen, double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a modern bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing and an accessible ground-floor position, useful for mobility and ease of daily life. The building was constructed in 1996 and presents a tidy, familiar modern apartment style.
Buyers should note important practical considerations. The lease has about 73 years remaining — this may restrict mortgage options and could deter some lenders. The service charge is approximately £3,097 per year and heating is by electric storage heaters, both of which affect running costs. The kitchen shows dated finishes and would benefit from updating to suit modern tastes.
Located within walking distance of Halstead town centre, the flat is well placed for shops, banks, healthcare and local transport. For a buyer wanting a straightforward, ground-floor retirement base or a small rental proposition, this property provides immediate occupancy and low-maintenance living, but budget for lease-related advice, ongoing service charges and potential refurbishment.
