Set within Lower High Street, this one-bedroom retirement apartment offers compact, low-maintenance living for the over-60s. The flat sits in a modern low-rise block with communal seating areas and well-kept gardens, making it easy to meet neighbours and enjoy outdoor space without personal upkeep. Its town-centre location places shops, services and public transport a short walk away.
The accommodation is modest at about 428 sq ft and features a double bedroom, a reception room, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the glazing is double; the interior will suit someone seeking straightforward, practical accommodation rather than a recently refurbished finish. There is no upper chain, so a prompt move is possible.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with around 96 years remaining and an average service charge of £2,922 per year. The building was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and is generally modern in style, but the flat will benefit from updating to reflect contemporary tastes.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and affordable council tax, which help keep running costs predictable. However, the town-centre setting is in an area with very high recorded crime, so prospective purchasers should view the location and communal security arrangements personally.
