A modern one bedroom retirement apartment for persons aged 60+ in the popular Riverstone Court, Kingston development.
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom apartment at Riverstone Court in Kingston Upon Thames presents a mixed bag. Its location is a strong point. The proximity to Kingston town centre, excellent schools like Tiffin School and Kingston Grammar School, and Kingston train station adds to the property’s appeal. The transport links are excellent for commuters. However, the property’s position in a retirement development might restrict its market appeal, as it will only be suitable for those aged 60 and over. The apartment itself appears clean and well maintained from the provided photographs, though showing a slight need for modernisations in the kitchen and bathroom. It’s a functional living space but not luxurious or particularly updated. The lack of outdoor space is a significant drawback. The price of £185,000 seems comparatively reasonable given its location and access to amenities, but the limitation of the retirement development and the small size must be considered. Potential buyers should carefully weigh the advantages of the location against the limitations of the apartment and the age restriction of the development before making a decision. More information regarding property size and other features would allow for a more precise evaluation.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
