This two-bedroom top-floor retirement apartment sits in the centre of Ongar, a short walk from shops and the local station. Sash windows frame rooftop and countryside views, and the generous lounge can accommodate both seating and dining. The layout is traditional and well arranged, with plentiful built-in storage and a practical wet room.
Residents benefit from comprehensive communal facilities: lifts to all floors, an on-site restaurant, residents' lounge, laundry room, guest accommodation and a 24-hour estates management team. Allocated off-street parking is available by permit, and the long lease (113 years remaining) gives security for long-term occupation.
Practical points are straightforward. Heating is electric underfloor, which is efficient but may lead to higher electricity bills compared with gas. The property is leasehold with a ground rent of £510 per year, which is higher than average and should be considered alongside any service charges.
Overall this apartment will suit downsizers or retirees wanting a low‑maintenance home in a sociable, well-served location, with the reassurance of onsite support and visitor accommodation.
