1 Bedroom Bungalow

Being on the end of the development brings two distinct advantages to this third-floor one-bedroom flat for the over-sixties. One is extra natural light as the living room has two windows (one on the side elevation), and the kitchen has a window too. The other is the saving made on the service charge: for reasons that are unknown to me, the end flats pay a lower rate than the middle ones. The end flats enjoy all the same benefits though: a 24-hour emergency call system, a lovely communal lounge, a lift, a laundry room, a guest suite, a very attractive communal garden, the possibility of off-street parking (first come first served so not guaranteed), and an estate manager who is present on most days of the week.

There is most likely a resale charge when selling on, based on a percentage of the price paid; we are in the process of establishing how the figure is calculated,
