A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment offered chain-free and designed for over-60s living. The flat sits in a well-kept, purpose-built block from the late 1990s with communal gardens, a resident lounge and allocated off-street parking — convenient for visitors and short trips into Witham town centre.
The accommodation is an average-sized one-bedroom layout with an open-plan living area, separate kitchen and bathroom. The building benefits from double glazing and an EPC around band C. Its proximity to Witham railway station and local amenities makes it easy to stay connected without needing a car for everyday essentials.
Buyers should note this is leasehold retirement housing: approximately 95 years remain on the lease with a service charge around £3,284 per year and ground rent of £522 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the kitchen shows a dated 1980s style that will need modernising. There is a medium flood risk in the area and local crime statistics are higher than average — both are important considerations for safety and insurance costs.
Overall, this apartment suits a downsizer seeking low-maintenance, ground-floor living close to town facilities and rail links, or an investor targeting the retirement rental market. Viewing is recommended to judge space, condition and communal facilities in person.
