This first-floor retirement apartment in Sandbriggs Court offers practical, low-maintenance living close to Garstang town centre. The recently redecorated interior includes a lounge with Juliette balcony, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a shower room — ready to move into with replacement carpets in place. Communal facilities include a residents' lounge, launderette, lift to all floors, visitor accommodation and on-site parking.
The development is designed for reassurance and convenience: a daily house manager, 24-hour pull-cord emergency intercoms and regular communal events create a friendly, secure environment. The property sits in a very affluent, ageing suburbia setting with good local amenities, a bus stop outside and easy walking distance to shops and cafés.
Practical points to note: the flat uses electric storage heaters which can increase running costs compared with gas heating, and the property is leasehold with 108 years remaining. Annual costs include a service charge of £2,460 and ground rent of £395 — important for budgeting when considering long-term ownership.
This apartment will suit downsizers looking for a tidy, modern retirement base with social facilities and on-site support, rather than buyers seeking a significantly larger or detached home. The location and communal features give genuine comfort and convenience, while the leasehold costs and electric heating are the main financial considerations.
