A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment in Homefylde House, ideal for a downsizer wanting easy access to local shops and green space. The block offers strong communal facilities — lounge, laundry, guest rooms — and on-site support with a house manager and emergency alarm system, giving added peace of mind.
Inside, the flat is compact (approx. 453 sq ft) with a fitted kitchen, modern shower room, UPVC double glazing and electric storage heating. The property comes with no onward chain and is set within maintained communal gardens just 0.2 miles from Stanley Park.
Important practical points: the lease has about 60 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage availability or require a specialist lender. The area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime levels; buyers should check mortgage and insurance options and consider personal security needs.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance retirement base close to amenities and parkland, or an investor aware of lease-length and lending constraints. The building is relatively modern and well-kept, but the flat’s electric heating and limited lease length are material considerations.
