A ground-floor retirement apartment offering practical, low-cost living close to Downham Market town centre and the train station. The one-bedroom layout includes a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a lounge/diner, separate kitchen and bathroom — all contained within about 499 sq ft, making the home manageable for single occupants or couples downsizing.
Residents benefit from communal gardens, shared sitting areas and off-street visitor parking, plus easy access to local shops, services and public transport. EPC rating C and very low council tax (Band A) keep running costs modest, while excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suit modern connectivity needs.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold within a purpose-built retirement development and ownership is restricted by minimum age criteria (60 for primary purchaser, 55 for second applicant). The surrounding area records higher crime and local deprivation indices, and the apartment is compact — purchasers should be comfortable with limited internal space and communal living.
This apartment suits buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance retirement base with strong local amenities and transport links. It presents immediate move-in potential with scope for cosmetic updating rather than major structural works.
