FULL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Over 55's One-bedroom Flat

Step inside to find a bright and welcoming interior with thoughtful details throughout. From the spacious open-plan living area with private balcony access, to the sleek, well-appointed kitchen with solid oak worktops and integrated appliances, every space is designed for easy, modern living. The generous double bedroom offers excellent built-in storage, while the 2026 updated bathroom features a full-sized bathtub with power shower, new flooring and contemporary finishes. Double glazing, gas central heating and stylish wood laminate flooring provide year-round comfort. This property also benefits from residents parking and access to a range of shared facilities including free laundrette, a guest room and beautifully landscaped communal gardens. The guest room is available for visitors and booking is on a first come first served basis.

The development in this block also has right to manage (RTM) which gives all leaseholders the ability to take over the management of their block.

What truly sets this home apart is its unique purchase opportunity, the house is available to purchase at 70% of the total market value due to an affordable housing scheme in place for some of the properties in Ely Place.

You’ll have full ownership and enjoy the exact same service charge costs as those properties on the development costing 100% of market value.

When you choose to sell, the price will be based on 70% of the market value at the time, giving you outstanding value and long term affordability.

Another key feature is upon purchase a brand new 99-year lease will be granted at no extra cost.

The development is for over 55s and is managed by a local management company, with current annual service charges of approximately £952.17 per annum (£79.35 per calendar month). This covers the maintenance of the buildings and communal gardens, fire, gas and electrical safety checks, cleaning of communal areas, exterior cleaning and general gardening.
