This two-bedroom, first-floor retirement apartment in Oakham, Rutland, is listed at £140,000. The property is marketed as well-maintained and attractively presented, suitable for over 50s. It features gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. Images reveal a functional layout comprising a living area, dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The interior presents a dated aesthetic, with older decor and finishes. The external features are limited to a courtyard with limited space. The lack of information on the size of the apartment (SQFT) makes a direct comparison with other listed properties difficult. It is located close to Oakham town centre and benefits from proximity to several well-regarded schools. The train station is also within a reasonable distance, increasing the property’s appeal for potential buyers seeking easy access to transport links. However, the property’s age and the dated interior suggest there’s potential for improvement and modernisation. The absence of a significant private garden might limit its appeal to certain buyers. Overall, this property offers a viable option for those seeking retirement living or a property requiring modernisation in Oakham’s central area.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
