A purpose-built first-floor retirement flat in Martlets Court, arranged for over-60s and conveniently close to Crowborough town centre and local amenities. The one-bedroom layout includes a lounge, separate kitchen and shower room; double glazing was renewed in 2018 and the EPC is C, so the flat is reasonably energy-efficient for its age. Communal benefits include an on-site warden, 24-hour emergency pull-cord, residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest room, well-kept gardens and ample off-street parking.
The flat is compact at about 462 sq ft and heated by electric storage heaters, making running costs dependent on electricity use. Service charge and ground rent are higher typical retirement-scheme costs (approx. £230 pcm service charge; ground rent about £29.17 pcm; annual service charge shown as £2,760). Council tax is described as very cheap which helps overall affordability.
Important lease information: there are roughly 60 years remaining on the lease. This is a material issue — many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend on leases with around 60 years left, which can limit the pool of buyers to cash purchasers or specialist lenders. The flat is offered leasehold, so buyers should obtain independent legal and mortgage advice early.
Suitable for someone seeking low-maintenance retirement living with social facilities and a central location, this property will appeal to buyers who can manage or accept electric heating and who are comfortable handling the mortgage/finance implications of a shorter lease. The communal setting and proximity to shops, transport links and Ashdown Forest add lifestyle value for walkers and town amenities alike.
