A compact one-bedroom retirement flat on the first floor, offered chain-free and designed for residents aged over 55. Lift access serves all floors and the development includes communal gardens, a residents’ lounge and off-street parking — convenient for socialising and day-to-day living. Local shops and strong transport links are within easy reach.
The flat measures about 357 sq ft and is economical to run in terms of footprint but uses electric storage heaters and mains electricity, which can be costlier than gas. The building dates from the 1980s; the exterior shows evidence of recent scaffolding and the living room has signs of damp/mould and general wear, so some internal refurbishment may be needed.
This is a leasehold property with an average service charge of £2,844 and a ground rent of £247 per year; these are material ongoing costs to budget for. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and the area reports low crime and an affluent local profile. Buyers should verify lease length, service charge breakdown and appliance condition with their solicitor before committing.
