Wickham Road, Beckenham, BR3

EXCEPTIONAL AGE RESTRICTED RETIREMENT FLAT (60+) with door from sitting room to beautiful communal gardens at rear, making this particularly appealing as the vast majority of similar flats do not have access to outside space.  The flat has been modernised and is situated near the popular Park Langley shops and opposite an entrance to Kelsey Park.  Available immediately with no onward chain and recently redecorated to give great presentation to the generous living room and double bedroom with additional fitted wardrobes.  Modern fitted kitchen with white units and built-in appliances whilst the bathroom is re-appointed as a shower room, fitted with a white suite.  The current owner has tended the garden area immediately to the rear of this property, which could be continued if the purchaser enjoys gardening.

Conveniently located for Tesco Express by the Park Langley roundabout and popular shops on Wickham Road providing a chemist, newsagent, delicatessen, coffee shops, bakery and off licence with post office.  Bus route 162 runs along Wickham Road for Bromley, Chislehurst and Beckenham High Street.  Kelsey Park provides an attractive walk to Beckenham, about three quarters of a mile away, and from Beckenham Junction there are trains to Victoria as well as trams to Croydon and Wimbledon.
