Purpose-built, manageable home with gardens and parking near Southgate transport links.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement flat, 496 sq ft
Light-filled and practical, this one-bedroom first-floor retirement flat sits in a well-maintained development set back from Winchmore Hill Road. The apartment offers a comfortable living room, a fitted shower room and a modest kitchen within an average-sized 496 sq ft layout — an easy-to-manage home for someone looking to downsize without losing outdoor space.
The development is purpose-built for retirement living: there’s an on-site manager, emergency call facilities, a large communal lounge with direct access to landscaped, secluded gardens, plus an overnight guest suite, laundry room and lift. Residents’ off-street parking and a door-entry intercom add daily convenience, while Southgate Tube and local shops are within easy reach by foot or a short bus ride.
Practical facts worth noting: the flat is leasehold with 109 years remaining and an annual ground rent of £495. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property runs on electric mains rather than gas, which can affect running costs. EPC rating C and double glazing are positives, but broadband speeds are average.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a secure, community-focused retirement home with pleasant communal grounds and straightforward accommodation. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising location, low local crime and easy access to transport, but buyers should factor in leasehold costs and electric heating when assessing ongoing affordability.
