This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Riverside Court offers bright, riverside living designed for retirement comfort. A Juliette balcony delivers pleasant river views and natural light to the main living area, while double glazing (pre-2002) helps retain warmth. The building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and sits within well-kept communal gardens and a communal lounge, supporting a strong community atmosphere.
Practicalities are clear: the home is leasehold with around 100 years remaining, an average internal size of approximately 485 sq ft, and electric storage heaters for heating. Service charges average £3,119 per year and ground rent is £720 annually, which buyers should factor into ongoing costs. Flood risk is low and mobile and broadband services are strong.
The flat is conveniently placed within easy walking distance of shops, cafés, supermarkets and public transport, making daily errands straightforward without relying on a car. The property will suit someone seeking a sociable, low-maintenance retirement base; the communal facilities and nearby amenities support independent living with opportunities for community interaction.
Buyers should note some trade-offs: heating is electric storage, which can be more expensive than mains gas; the area reports higher crime statistics relative to national averages; and the property is leasehold with notable service and ground charges. For a buyer prioritising riverside views, community amenities and a central retirement location, this apartment offers a practical, well-located option.
