A first-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in Limewood Court, offered chain-free and suited to buyers aged 55+. The apartment has a large lounge open to a fitted kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in storage and a modern walk-in shower room. The block provides lift access, secure entry, emergency pull cords, on-site warden and communal facilities including a lounge, games room, salon, gardens and parking.
Practical running costs include electric storage heating, a service charge of about £228 pcm and a small ground rent (approx £123.87 paid twice yearly). The property is leasehold with 60 years remaining — this is a material drawback as many mortgage lenders may refuse lending with such a short lease, so purchasers should check finance options or be prepared for a cash purchase or lease-extension costs.
The interior mixes updated sanitary fittings with an older-style 1980s kitchen and dated decor that will suit someone wanting low-maintenance living now, or a buyer willing to modernise for personal comfort or to increase resale value. Communal grounds and on-site parking add convenience, and the area records low crime and fast broadband — useful for independent retirees.
Buyers should verify all lease and service details with solicitors. The flat is best for downsizers seeking supported, low-upkeep living in a managed development, or investors aware of the lease limitations and potential need to extend the lease before resale or mortgageability.
