This ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Audley Court offers easy, step-free living within walking distance of Saffron Walden town centre. The development provides practical on-site facilities — lift access, resident lounge, communal laundry, guest suites, a house manager and covered mobility scooter charging points — making daily life convenient and sociable.
The apartment benefits from communal parking and well-kept gardens, and is sold with no onward chain. Its layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (main with built-in wardrobes) and a bathroom. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit those who stay connected.
Important practical considerations: the lease has 62 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage availability and affect future saleability. Service charges and ground rent are notable: an annual service charge of £4,996 and ground rent of £348. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and the property is small in overall size.
This is a sensible option for a retiree seeking a low-maintenance, community-focused base close to shops, transport links and local amenities. Buyers should commission mortgage and legal advice early because of the lease length and check the service charge schedule and any forthcoming major works before committing.
