With Kelsey Park and popular shops by the Park Langley roundabout very much "on the doorstep", this CHAIN FREE age restricted flat, for residents over 60, is on the second floor (no floor above at this end of building) with LIFT ACCESS. Positioned at the front of the block giving a sunny westerly aspect in the sitting room and bedroom but, unlike many, this property also has south facing double glazed windows in the living room and kitchen, providing plenty of natural light. The entrance hall has an entryphone/intercom for communication with the resident house manager (weekday mornings) or emergency monitoring. The flat is priced to reflect scope for updating as we expect buyers may wish to improve the kitchen and bathroom as well as redecorate, giving them the opportunity to make personal choices to their own tastes.
Conveniently located for the 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 High Street, about three quarters of a mile away and from Beckenham Junction there are trains to Victoria and The City as well as trams to Croydon and Wimbledon.
