Summary - LAKER COURT FLAT 4 GALES DRIVE CRAWLEY RH10 1QB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ground-floor retirement flat for residents aged 60+
Quiet, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in Laker Court, designed for independent living aged 60+. The flat sits on a purpose-built development with communal gardens, residents’ lounge, guest suite and off-street parking. A 24-hour emergency pull-cord, secure entry phone and an on-site house manager provide added peace of mind.
Internally the layout is straightforward: a spacious living/dining room overlooking the communal gardens, a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a walk-in shower room designed for ease of use. The separate kitchen provides practical storage and worktops. The building has lift access to all floors and appears well maintained externally.
Key running costs and specifics to note: the property is leasehold (approx. 100 years remaining) with an average service charge of £2,700 and a ground rent of £765. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains broadband speeds are slow — both factors that may influence running costs and connectivity. The local area records very high crime levels, which prospective buyers should consider alongside the onsite security features.
The flat is presented in dated but tidy condition and will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance, secure retirement home close to Three Bridges station and local amenities. Cosmetic updating could add value and personalise the space, though major structural issues are not evident from the information provided.
