Secure, single-level retirement living with communal gardens and on-site support.
Ground-floor retirement flat with direct garden access
A ground-floor retirement apartment for the over-60s offering direct access from the lounge to well-kept communal gardens. The open-plan lounge/dining room and one double bedroom with built-in wardrobes make this a manageable, low-maintenance home with easy single-level living. The site includes a daytime manager and a 24-hour emergency call system, providing extra reassurance.
Practicalities are straightforward: the property is leasehold (approx. 100 years remaining), chain free and sits within a modern purpose-built development from 1996–2002. Heating is via electric storage heaters and double glazing was installed before 2002. There is limited off-street parking and pleasant communal seating and dining areas in the gardens for socialising or relaxing outdoors.
Costs and condition to note: the service charge and ground rent are notable ongoing expenses (service charge c. £3,500 pa; ground rent c. £350 pa). The living area would benefit from updating in places, and electric heating can mean higher running costs compared with gas. Broadband speeds are average and the immediate area shows some signs of deprivation, though local amenities and transport links are close by.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a secure, ground-floor retirement home with garden access and on-site support, or an investor looking for a straightforward leasehold retirement unit with no onward chain. Viewing is recommended to assess layout and update potential in person.
