About
RETIREMENT FLAT – OVER 65s This one-bedroom first-floor retirement flat offers safe, independent living within a welcoming and well-maintained development.
The property comprises a spacious lounge/diner with access to a fitted kitchen. This area is bright and airy, creating a comfortable and inviting living space.
There is one double bedroom featuring fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors. The bathroom is fully fitted and includes a bath with shower over, WC, and pedestal wash hand basin.
Additionally, there is a large airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and cold water tank, providing ample storage space.
The flat is well laid out and ideal for a retired person looking to downsize. It is a blank canvas and would benefit from refurbishment, allowing the new owner to personalise the space to their taste.
Benefits include emergency pull cords in every room, connected to the on-site warden for assistance in an emergency.
When the Visiting Development Manager is off duty, residents are supported by a 24-hour Appello emergency call system.
There is also a communal residents’ lounge where regular coffee mornings and social events take place, fostering a strong sense of community.
Externally, the development offers well-kept communal gardens—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings—as well as ample communal parking to the front.
The location is ideal, with easy access to Ilford and Barking stations, Ilford Lane shopping facilities, excellent bus routes, and nearby green spaces including South Park and Loxford Park.
Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, this is a very safe and pleasant place to live. To arrange a viewing, please call to book your appointment.
