Summary - GIDEA LODGE, 220A FLAT 20 MAIN ROAD ROMFORD RM2 5HR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance flat with manager, lift and allocated parking near shops.
First-floor one-bedroom flat, approx 492 sq ft
This well-kept first-floor one-bedroom apartment sits within a purpose-built red-brick retirement block close to shops, pubs and local transport. The building offers lift access, a house manager, communal lounge and gardens, with allocated off-street parking immediately outside — practical benefits for older residents or those seeking a low-maintenance home.
The apartment is compact (approximately 492 sq ft) with a separate kitchen, double bedroom and shower room — a straightforward layout suited to a single occupant or couple. Recent external condition appears good and the flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an energy rating around EPC C, helping keep running costs reasonable.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with about 97 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £330 and communal service arrangements typical of retirement developments. The local area reports higher-than-average crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision. There is no private garden and internal space is modest, so this home is best for downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking long-lease retirement stock.
Chain free and ready to view, this apartment offers secure, low-maintenance living close to local amenities and good transport links. It’s a sensible choice for someone prioritising convenience, communal support and easy access to neighbourhood facilities, while accepting the trade-offs of compact accommodation and managed communal ownership.
