First-floor two-bedroom apartment in retirement-exclusive development
A well-proportioned two-bedroom, first-floor apartment within a retirement-exclusive development for residents aged 55+. The layout includes a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen, built-in wardrobe in bedroom one and a practical shower room — all arranged for low-maintenance living. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, kitchen/utility, mature gardens and off-street parking (subject to availability). Step and wheelchair lifts serve the first floor for easier access.
Practical details suit downsizers seeking convenience: a long lease (117 years) offers security, PVC double glazing helps with heat retention, and the location places shops, services and regular buses within walking distance. Broadband and mobile coverage are strong, and local area indicators show an affluent, well-served neighbourhood.
Notable considerations are factual and important. Heating is electric storage heaters (main fuel: electricity) and there is an EPC rating of E. The interior shows mid‑century fittings and will benefit from modernization to suit contemporary tastes. The property carries a service charge currently averaging £3,235.20 per year. Parking is available but not guaranteed and is allocated subject to availability.
Overall this apartment is a practical, secure choice for a buyer aged 55+ who wants a ready-to-live-in home with communal support and good local amenities, while also accepting modest updating and the running costs associated with electric heating and the service charge.
