This two-bedroom, first-floor apartment sits in an over-55s retirement complex a short walk from Peterborough city centre and the station. The building provides communal lounges and gardens, secure on-site parking and lift access, making day-to-day life straightforward for downsizers who want proximity to shops, transport and local amenities.
Inside, the layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, lounge/diner, kitchen, two bedrooms with fitted furniture in the main bedroom, and a bathroom. The flat benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and an alarm call/intercom system. EPC rating C and council tax band C reflect reasonably efficient running costs.
Buyers should note this property is offered with no onward chain and will be sold by secure online auction (starting bid advertised). The lease was granted from April 2000 (approximately 100 years remaining) and the development has a significant service charge of about £792.35 per month — a material ongoing cost to factor into affordability. The surrounding area scores as high-crime and very deprived, which may affect perceived security and resale prospects.
Overall, the apartment suits an older buyer prioritising convenience, communal support and low-mobility access rather than a quiet suburban setting. Early viewings are recommended for those seeking a ready-to-move-in retirement base close to the city centre and transport links.
