This well-presented second-floor retirement flat offers comfortable, low-maintenance living for over-57s in a secure modern development. The bright reception room flows to an open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances, creating an easy social space for visitors or relaxing at home. Two double bedrooms and a smart bathroom make this a practical long-term home, with a private balcony for fresh air and views over the neighbourhood.
At about 870 sq ft the apartment feels roomy for its type and is suited to downsizers seeking convenience rather than large garden maintenance. The lease has 119 years remaining and the property sits on a leasehold tenure with communal heating provided via a community scheme — useful for simplicity but check ongoing service charges and arrangements.
Location is a strong asset: moments from Lewisham shops, transport links and within easy reach of Blackheath village amenities, schools and a wide range of local services. Mobile signal is excellent, though broadband speeds are average. Be aware the local area records higher crime and relative deprivation; buyers should consider local safety measures and support networks when viewing.
Overall this is a practical, modern retirement home with scope for straightforward personalisation. It will suit someone prioritising proximity to shops, transport and a low-maintenance layout, provided they are comfortable with leasehold living, community heating and local area factors.
