This bright two-bedroom apartment in Heathside is designed for comfortable over-60s living. Set on the second floor with lift access, it offers a welcoming reception room, a south-facing balcony and wood flooring throughout, creating an airy, cohesive feel. The modern kitchen includes integrated appliances, induction hob and clean, contemporary finishes.
The development is well-equipped for retired residents: an on-site house manager, 24-hour emergency call system, a newly refurbished residents’ lounge, therapy and treatment room, secure entry and communal gardens. The long lease (189 years) and modest ground rent make ownership straightforward for those seeking stability rather than ongoing large service charges.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with a single bathroom and an average overall size (691 sq ft), so it suits downsizers who prioritise convenience over large living spaces. Council tax is noted as expensive in this area, and local crime levels are higher than average — buyers should factor local security and running costs into their decision.
Overall, the apartment represents a low-maintenance, well-served option for someone aged 60+ who wants a modern, light-filled home near Golders Hill Park and local shops, with on-site support and communal facilities.
