Secure, sociable first-floor living close to Crawley station and town centre.
Purpose-built retirement apartment, age 60+ occupancy restriction
A first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Homethorne House, a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development close to Crawley town centre and station. The flat offers secure, independent living with a Development Manager, lift access and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system for added reassurance.
The accommodation includes a bright living room with walk-in storage, a modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a walk-in shower room. Residents have access to communal facilities including a lounge, laundry room and a guest suite for visitors, creating a social, low-maintenance lifestyle.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining, a relatively high service charge (£5,304.62pa) paid biannually, and ground rent details are to be confirmed. The area records higher-than-average crime and sits within a deprived local area classification, which may affect resale appeal for some buyers.
Chain free and aimed at purchasers aged 60+, this apartment suits buyers seeking downsizing into a supported community or investors looking for a retirement-let opportunity. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal are positives for staying connected, while proximity to shops, buses and Crawley station keeps essentials within easy walking distance.
