Summary - Flat 40, Homenene House, Bushfield PE2 5PP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Easy-to-manage one-bedroom home near Ortongate shopping and transport links.
Over-55s block with communal gardens and off-street parking
Designed for over-55s, this compact one-bedroom second-floor flat sits within a brick-built block close to Orton Gate shopping and local services. The layout is straightforward: entrance hall, lounge, small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, with communal gardens and off-street parking for residents.
The interior is tidy but dated — the kitchen and living areas show 1970s–1980s fittings and will benefit from modernisation. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property uses electric fuel; buyers should note running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The flat is leasehold and additional leasehold fees may apply.
Practical positives include double glazing (fitted after 2002), a modestly sized footprint that’s easy to maintain, and a very low council tax band. Downsizers seeking a low‑maintenance base near shops and transport will value the location and communal grounds.
Material points to consider: the neighbourhood scores as very deprived and local crime rates are very high, which may affect resale and safety perceptions. The apartment is small (approximately 399 sq ft) and requires updating throughout, so it is best suited to buyers prepared to carry out cosmetic or kitchen/bathroom improvements or those looking for a low-cost retirement entry point.
