A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment arranged for residents aged 60+ with its own entrance and direct patio access to well-kept communal gardens. The layout is traditional and compact, with a lounge opening onto the patio, a fitted kitchen housing the Worcester gas boiler, and a shower room. Off-street parking is available and the property is offered chain-free with a virtual tour available.
This is a shared ownership sale (60% ownership). Service charges and the rent on the unsold share are payable (total approx. £117.01 pcm). Heating is by mains gas boiler and double glazing is installed; overall the home has been maintained to a reasonable standard for its age and construction (c.1983–1990).
Important lease information: the lease has about 67 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders impose minimum lease length requirements and may refuse lending on this property — buyers should obtain mortgage advice before committing. The size is small (approx. 413 sq ft), making the apartment best suited to a single occupier or couple seeking low-maintenance retirement accommodation.
The property offers clear practical benefits: no onward chain, private garden access, nearby local facilities, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. However, the limited lease length and the shared-ownership arrangement are material factors that will affect affordability, mortgage options and future resale prospects.
