This property is a one-bedroom retirement flat located on Wickham Road in Beckenham, BR3 6QH. It’s situated within a retirement complex specifically for residents over 60, providing access to communal gardens and lift access. The flat includes a modern fitted kitchen, a spacious open-plan living area with a fireplace, and a bedroom with fitted wardrobes. A key benefit is its location near Kelsey Park, which is a significant attraction. The transport connections are good, with Eden Park and Beckenham Junction train stations relatively close by. Additionally, several well-regarded schools are within a reasonable distance, making it potentially attractive to older individuals or couples. The images show the interior to be clean and well-maintained, though the style is somewhat dated, suggesting the need for modernisation to enhance its overall appeal to potential buyers. There is a significant communal green space which offsets the lack of private garden. The price is reasonable compared to other comparable properties within the complex and nearby area. The key drawback is that it’s within a retirement community, which might limit the potential buyer pool to those fulfilling those requirements. For potential buyers fitting the target demographic this could be an attractive and well-located property.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
