Summary - 8 TORKINGTON GARDENS STAMFORD PE9 2EW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Centrally located first-floor retirement flat with communal gardens.
Over‑55s first-floor apartment, short walk to Stamford town centre
A first-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in central Stamford, positioned a short walk from the town’s historic centre. The living room features a large bay window, the bedroom has fitted wardrobes, and the flat benefits from well-kept communal gardens and resident parking. EPC rating C and Council Tax Band A keep running costs relatively low.
Practical for downsizers seeking a town-centre base, the apartment is sold with no upward chain and has straightforward, traditional layouts: entrance hall with storage, lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and bathroom. The communal setting provides on-call support and managed grounds, with a predictable monthly service charge that covers insurance, maintenance and communal utilities.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 62 years remaining. Some mortgage lenders may refuse to lend at this lease length, which could restrict buyers to cash purchasers or specialist lenders. The interior shows signs of age — dated décor and carpeting — so modest refurbishment should be factored into costs.
Overall this is a convenient, low-maintenance option for an over‑55s buyer who prioritises central location, communal amenities and predictable service management, but buyers must check lease and mortgage viability early in their search.
