A bright, purpose-built one-bedroom retirement apartment in Waveney Place, designed for over-60s who want low-maintenance living close to Harleston town centre. The open-plan living and dining area opens to a Juliette balcony, and the bedroom includes a fitted wardrobe. Residents benefit from landscaped communal gardens, a homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and off-street parking within an exclusive private development.
This is offered through Shared Ownership (examples shown for a 75% share) — a route to lower upfront costs and, at some share levels, no rent payable. The property is a modern new-build (constructed 2019) with an estimated SAP rating up to 84, and the long lease (997 years) reduces long-term tenure risk.
Be clear about the trade-offs: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher energy bills. The unit is leasehold and sold under shared ownership terms with qualifying criteria; prospective buyers should confirm eligibility, exact share options, service charges and council tax before committing. The development sits in a village classified as having higher area deprivation despite very low local crime and excellent digital connectivity.
Overall this apartment suits a downsizer seeking a manageable, modern home with communal support and social spaces close to local amenities. It offers low-maintenance living and long lease security, but buyers should budget for electric heating running costs and check shared ownership terms carefully.
