Accessible two-bedroom retirement flat with strong communal facilities and long lease.
Ground-floor retirement apartment, age-restricted development
A superior ground-floor retirement apartment offering accessible, single-level living in a modern development built in 2008. The flat has two double bedrooms, a long lounge/dining room with bay window and electric coal-effect fire, plus a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances — practical for independent retirees wanting comfortable, low-maintenance accommodation.
Communal facilities are a major draw: an attractive residents’ lounge, library, well-equipped laundry, guest suite and landscaped gardens with seating and a gazebo. There is also a mobility-scooter charging point and a secure parking area (spaces allocated subject to availability), making day-to-day life easier for those who need it. Sold with no onward chain and a long lease remaining (108 years), the apartment is ready for immediate occupation.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a service charge currently around £2,541.65 (plus an £85 admin fee for the six-month period shown) and a six-monthly ground rent of £249.50. Parking is not guaranteed and spaces are allocated subject to availability. The surrounding area records higher crime and local deprivation levels, which prospective buyers should factor into location decisions.
This home suits downsizers or retirees seeking convenience, communal support and low-maintenance living close to town amenities. It provides comfortable accommodation with sensible accessibility features, but carries recurring service costs and some local-area concerns that are important to weigh against the benefits.
