Property description

Guide Price £120,000 - £130,000

A great opportunity to purchase a ground floor retirement flat built by McCARTHY & stone, located in a convenient position in the popular district of Southgate and just a short walk to Crawley town centre.

This two double bedroom property is available for the over 60’s, benefits from direct access to a patio area and is offered with no onward chain.

Entry to the building is accessed via a secure telephone entry system, with this particular apartment being located just a short walk from the main entrance and just past the on-site warden’s office who is available weekdays.

Entering the flat, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hallway with access to all rooms as well as a storage cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

The living/dining area is a generous size and can comfortably hold both living room furniture as well as a separate dining table and chairs with a window to front allowing in plenty of natural light. Located off the living room is the kitchen, which is well-designed to offer wall and base units incorporating cupboards and drawers with work surfaces over, an integrated eye level electric oven and separate ceramic hob with extractor hood above and space for under-counter fridge and freezer.

Both bedrooms overlook the front aspect and are both double rooms with built-in double wardrobes for added storage. Subject to permission from the freeholder/management company, there is the possibility to create a larger living area by knocking through to bedroom two.

Finally, there is a walk-in wet room with low level WC, wash hand basin and single level shower area equipped with a Dimplex heater.

The building does also benefit from a communal lounge and kitchen to create a positive social environment amongst the residents with parking to the rear also for the sole use of residents.
