Description

This thoughtfully designed retirement apartment at Appletree Court, Rainham offers a calm, secure and low-maintenance way of life for the over 60s, positioned right at the centre of the High Street where everything you need is within easy, level walking distance. Step outside and you are moments from your morning coffee, the weekly shop, the pharmacy and effortless transport links, making day-to-day living wonderfully simple.

Appletree Court itself is known for its warm sense of community. Residents have the benefit of a beautifully kept communal lounge, ideal for socialising or relaxing with a book, as well as landscaped gardens that provide a peaceful outdoor space without the responsibility of upkeep. There is a residents laundry room, a lift to every floor and an on-site guest suite, a thoughtful addition for visiting family and friends. A secure entry system and the 24 hour Appello emergency call line offer complete reassurance, allowing you to enjoy independence with support close at hand.

Inside, the apartment offers 494 sq ft of well-planned accommodation. The hallway is spacious and practical with a large storage cupboard, and the reception room provides a comfortable place to unwind, opening into a separate kitchen. The bedroom is a generous size and enjoys a pleasant outlook towards the gardens, while the shower room is well presented and easily maintained. The layout is shown clearly in the attached floor plan.

A long lease further adds to the appeal. Originally granted for 125 years from March 2004, there are approximately 103 years remaining, offering long-term peace of mind whether you are looking to move straight in or consider future resale.

Location is one of the biggest advantages here. Rainham High Street sits right on the doorstep, giving effortless access to shops, cafes, supermarkets, medical services and everyday essentials. Rainham Train Station is only a short walk away, connecting you directly to London and the Kent coast, perfect for visiting family or enjoying a day out without needing the car.

Appletree Court continues to be one of Rainham’s most convenient and well-regarded retirement developments, combining independence with community, comfort with security and a central setting that makes life that little bit easier. It is an ideal choice for those ready to embrace a relaxed, low-maintenance lifestyle with everything close at hand.
