Scope For Modernisation
Located in the ever-popular Edwin Arnold Court, just moments from Sidcup High Street and excellent transport links, this well-kept two-bedroom first floor retirement apartment offers comfortable, secure living with exciting scope to update and personalise to your own taste.
The accommodation includes a generous lounge, separate kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms and a shower room. Each room is fitted with emergency pull cords for added peace of mind, and the building is served by a lift providing easy access to all floors.
Residents benefit from a pleasant communal courtyard garden, residents’ parking, and the reassurance of an on-site house manager, fostering a friendly and supportive community environment.
Importantly, recent changes to leasehold legislation now mean a buyer no longer needs to own the property for two years before being able to extend the lease. This provides far greater flexibility, making it easier and more affordable for a new owner to secure a longer lease if desired - a valuable advantage that adds both convenience and long-term peace of mind.
Ideal for those looking to downsize or enjoy retirement living within a welcoming setting, all within easy reach of local shops, cafés and everyday amenities.
