This one-bedroom retirement flat at Richmond Court is arranged for comfortable, low-maintenance living for the over-60s. Vacant with no onward chain, the apartment offers a generous living/dining room, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a well-appointed kitchen — practical spaces arranged on a single level for easy day-to-day living.
Residents benefit from extensive communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, lift access, house manager and a 24-hour emergency call system. Well-maintained communal gardens and an on-site car park add outdoor space and convenience, while nearby shops, transport links and local amenities are within easy reach.
Important practical points you should know: the property is leasehold with about 106 years remaining, a service charge of £395 pcm, and a notably high ground rent of £3,565.74 (to be confirmed by solicitors). Heating is via electric storage heaters and the location reports high flood risk and very high local crime levels, which are material considerations for safety and insurance.
This flat suits a downsizer seeking a turnkey retirement setting with on-site support and social facilities, but buyers should factor in ongoing charges, electric heating costs, and the local environmental and safety risks when considering suitability and insurance implications.
