The flat has modern double glazing, fitted wardrobes in the main bedroom and a contemporary shower room.
Buyers should note key running costs and systems: the property is leasehold with about 89 years remaining, and combined ground rent and service charges average £170.86 monthly (c. £2,050 p.a.). Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains electricity — useful for some but likely to be more expensive than gas. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area.
Overall this is a practical, secure retirement option for someone seeking a quiet, low-upkeep home close to local amenities and Norwich, though purchasers should factor in the remaining lease term, service charges and electric heating when considering affordability and long-term plans.
