Quiet, well-maintained retirement apartment in the heart of Bromley, offered with no onward chain. Built by McCarthy & Stone in the early 2000s, this second-floor flat (served by lift) provides two double bedrooms, a living/dining room, fitted kitchen and a wet room suited to limited mobility. The development includes communal lounge, laundry, guest suite, House Manager and a 24-hour emergency Careline — practical features for independent retired living.
The apartment is a comfortable, average-sized home (approx. 664 sq ft) with double glazing and neutral presentation throughout. The master bedroom benefits from built-in storage and the wet room removes the need for step-in showers, giving genuine day-to-day convenience. Good mobile signal and proximity to Bromley town centre put shops, restaurants and public transport within easy walking distance.
Important practical points: heating is via electric storage heaters, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The building has cavity walls (assumed without added insulation) which may affect thermal performance. The property is leasehold with around 100 years remaining and is marketed for those aged 55 and over. Broadband speeds are average and local crime levels are relatively high, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision.
For a buyer seeking a low-stairs, managed retirement setting close to town amenities, this apartment offers safety features, communal facilities and straightforward accommodation. It will particularly suit downsizers who prioritise location and support services, and who are comfortable budgeting for electric heating and typical leasehold costs.
