This one-bedroom first-floor retirement flat at Riverside Court offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-60s. Situated a short walk from Halstead High Street and the river walk, it combines communal facilities — residents' lounge, laundry, gardens and parking — with a straightforward, light-filled layout. The property is offered with no onward chain and has 101 years remaining on the lease.
The apartment has a generous lounge/diner and a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The kitchen is functional but dated and will benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property uses mains electricity; prospective buyers should note the reliance on electric heating when considering running costs.
Service charges and ground rent are material considerations: an annual service charge around £3,148.98 (including water) and ground rent of £720.70. EPC C and Council Tax Band B are positives, but crime levels in the area are reported as high, which may concern some buyers.
This flat suits downsizers or retired communal-living buyers seeking convenience, social communal spaces and proximity to local shops and transport. It represents a straightforward purchase with scope to refresh the kitchen and finishes to increase comfort and modern appeal.
