A ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-55s development offering independent living and communal facilities. The flat has direct access to communal gardens and rear parking, a practical layout with lounge, separate kitchen, bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom with electric shower. The development includes a residents’ lounge, laundry, house manager and emergency careline for added peace of mind.
The interior is tidy but dated in places: a 1980s-style kitchen and mid-century modern living room that would benefit from cosmetic updating. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property runs on mains electricity; there is no electric car charging point. Service charge and ground rent are significant — factor ongoing costs into your budget.
Leasehold with 96 years remaining provides security for purchase but carries half-yearly costs: service charge approximately £1,484.80 and ground rent £237.22 (each paid every six months). Parking is available off-street and the flat has level access, making it convenient for less mobile buyers. Note the local area is classified as very deprived and crime is reported as high; weigh location and community needs against the conveniences provided.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance, communal living in an age-restricted scheme who is comfortable with leasehold arrangements and willing to invest modestly in modernising the kitchen and decor. For someone prioritising community facilities, garden access and step-free entry, it represents a practical, affordable option in NG5.
