Set within Summerlands Lodge, this second-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers comfortable retirement living close to Locksbottom High Street and local healthcare. The lounge/dining room is a bright, bay-windowed space with rear garden views, complemented by a modern white kitchen and a double bedroom with fitted storage. Residents benefit from well-kept communal gardens, a communal reception room with kitchen, lift access, and an on-site resident Care Manager.
Practical points are clear and factual: the flat is leasehold with 84 years remaining and is sold chain free, making for a straightforward purchase for an older buyer. Heating is by electric room heaters and main fuel is electricity; there is double glazing but the installation date is unknown. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the local crime rate is above average, which some buyers will want to consider.
This property suits someone seeking a well-managed retirement development near shops, services and healthcare, with low external maintenance and communal support. While the flat needs no major structural note, buyers should factor in the lease length, electric heating costs, and limited broadband when assessing long-term suitability.
