Quiet, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in a well-kept development, offered chain-free and suited to a single occupier or downsizer. The building provides practical communal facilities — lounge, laundry, gardens, parking and a resident manager with an emergency Careline system — which reduce day-to-day maintenance and add security.
The apartment is compact (approximately 360 sq ft) with a lounge, separate kitchen, double bedroom and shower room. Interior features are functional: double glazing and electric storage heaters. Its sheltered ground-floor position and immediate access to parking and gardens make it convenient for limited mobility.
Important lease and cost facts are upfront: the lease has about 62 years remaining, a service charge around £3,199 per year and ground rent about £237.50 per year. Many mortgage lenders have minimum lease-term requirements, so buyers planning to mortgage should obtain lender confirmation before committing. The apartment is best suited to cash buyers, owner-occupiers seeking an easy life, or investors aware of lease constraints.
Modest updating and cosmetic refresh would improve living comfort and rental appeal. Overall, this is a low-effort, centrally located retirement flat with strong communal support and clear financial points to resolve before purchase.
