Quietly positioned within the Gershwin Court over-55s development, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment delivers secure, low-maintenance living close to local shops and transport. The living/dining room is bright and the modern fitted kitchen offers generous storage — practical for independent residents. Communal gardens and outdoor seating create pleasant shared space, and an on-site manager plus 24-hour emergency pull cords give added reassurance.
The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and the second bedroom provides flexibility for guests or a hobby room. The building benefits from a secure entry system, off-street parking and a stair lift to the first floor, making access easier for less mobile residents. Service charge (£235.25) and low ground rent (£12.05) cover communal upkeep; council tax is inexpensive.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement flat with 62 years remaining on the lease. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on short leases, so buyers should obtain mortgage advice early. The property is electrically heated via ceiling heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives, and the overall apartment is compact at approximately 531 sq ft.
The development sits in an area with higher crime and economic deprivation indicators; prospective purchasers are advised to view the communal environment and local amenities in person. Chain-free sale and well-maintained communal grounds make this a straightforward purchase for an over-55 buyer seeking independent living with on-site support, provided they confirm finance options regarding the lease length.
