This first-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment at Riverside Court offers a practical, low-fuss base close to Halstead amenities. The building, constructed by McCarthy & Stone for over-60s, includes a Development Manager, 24/7 emergency call system, lift access, residents’ lounge, guest suite and communal laundry — features that suit buyers seeking security and on-site support.
The flat provides an average-sized living space of around 588 sq ft with a linear layout, double glazing and off-street parking subject to availability. Broadband and mobile signal are strong locally, making the apartment suitable for staying connected with family or light remote working. Chain-free sale and a long lease (approximately 99 years remaining from the stated term) simplify purchase logistics.
Practical costs and current condition are important to note. The service charge is £3,119.50 pa and ground rent £720.20 pa; these are material running costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than communal gas, and the interior shows dated 1980s/1990s decor and finishes — the living area and kitchen will benefit from renovation to modernise comfort and efficiency. Parking is available but not guaranteed.
This apartment will appeal to older buyers seeking on-site support and communal facilities, or investors targeting retirement accommodation in a town-centre location. It suits someone prepared to update interiors and budget for regular service charges and a notable ground rent.
