Summary - FAIRBANKS LODGE FLAT 26 FURZEHILL ROAD BOREHAMWOOD WD6 2DQ
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Secure, sociable retirement living close to shops and transport.
One-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment, newly redecorated and recarpeted
This one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Fairbanks Lodge offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Borehamwood town centre. Newly redecorated and recarpeted throughout, the flat is ready to move into and benefits from a fitted kitchen, built-in bedroom wardrobe and useful hallway storage with loft access. Off-street parking and well-maintained communal gardens add to everyday convenience.
Fairbanks Lodge is built around communal facilities that support independent living: an on-site lodge manager five days a week, a 24-hour Careline emergency system, an owners’ lounge with regular social events and a Guest Suite for visitors. Transport links are strong, with local buses and trains into central London and easy access to the A1(M), M1 and M25.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold with approximately 62–64 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage availability or require specialist lenders; buyers should check financing options before committing. The annual service charge of £4,103.45 is above average but covers buildings insurance, Careline, communal maintenance and water rates. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so energy costs and comfort preferences should be considered.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking a compact, secure retirement base close to local shops, green spaces and transport links. It combines ready-to-live-in accommodation with the social and safety benefits of a managed retirement development, but buyers must weigh the short lease and running costs when assessing long-term suitability.
