The bright lounge/diner and double bedroom give a relaxed, manageable layout, while double glazing and an EPC rating of B indicate reasonable energy performance.

Practical living is supported by a modern fitted kitchen and a shower room with heated towel rail, plus an airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Heating is by electric storage heaters and fuel is individual electricity (no communal scheme). The property sits in an area with a medium flood risk and higher-than-average crime rates — factors to weigh for personal safety and insurance considerations.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance, community-focused retirement living close to town amenities. It offers straightforward accessibility and communal support, balanced against running costs and local area risks that buyers should review before committing.
