Compact, community-focused retirement living near town amenities.
Top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, 504 sq ft
A top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Fairbanks Lodge, offering independent living with on-site support and communal facilities. The layout includes an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room, plus a balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens. The apartment is a comfortable 504 sq ft — manageable for downsizers and easy to maintain.
Practical benefits include a resident manager, spacious communal lounge and kitchen for socialising, a guest room for visiting family (small charge), and plentiful off-street parking. The building has double glazing (fitted after 2002) and an unusually long lease (151 years), providing security for buyers who prefer leasehold living.
Buyers should note the apartment has electric storage heating and uses electricity as the main fuel, which can mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. The kitchen and some decor are dated (1980s style) and would benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Tenure is leasehold and the property is marketed as a retirement-specific block.
Located close to Borehamwood town centre with good rail and bus links to London and St Albans, this apartment suits a purchaser seeking community, convenience and a compact, low-upkeep home. It offers scope to personalise the interior while retaining reliable communal services and long-term lease protection.
