Summary - FERNSIDE FLAT 5 LONDON ROAD EAST GRINSTEAD RH19 1QS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Comfortable first-floor apartment with garage and communal garden for downsizers.
Spacious first-floor two-bedroom flat, around 840 sq ft
A spacious two-bedroom first-floor flat in a mid‑century block, offered with no onward chain and a garage plus off‑road parking. The generous lounge/diner with bay window and separate fitted kitchen make this a comfortable, low‑maintenance home suitable for downsizers. Communal gardens and nearby shops, schools and transport links add practical convenience.
For buyers aged 60+, the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease offers a reduced purchase option (example guide price £152,500, with market value £230,000). The plan can let you buy a share (up to 50%) of the property value to protect future equity; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are not using the Lifetime Lease, the property remains available at full market value.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold and the lease will be renewed on completion; service charges average £2,066 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with assumed cavity walls and no fitted wall insulation. The apartment is tidy but would benefit from some updating and minor redecoration to reflect modern preferences.
Overall this flat suits someone seeking a comfortable retirement base with good local amenities, secure parking and long leasehold security, while understanding ongoing service charges and potential heating and insulation upgrade costs.
