Freshly refurbished one-bedroom retirement apartment with lift, parking and communal facilities.
Top-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A bright top-floor retirement apartment in Fitzwilliam Court, freshly redecorated with new carpets and modern shower room — ready to move into. The one-double-bedroom layout is compact and practical, with a separate fitted kitchen and a living room that captures elevated views towards the city. Lift access serves all floors, making the fourth-floor position genuinely accessible.
The development is designed for over‑60s and offers resident amenities including a communal lounge, laundry room, off‑road allocated parking and neat communal gardens. Secure entry via intercom and an active community setting suit purchasers seeking low‑maintenance living in the desirable Ecclesall area with shops and regular buses nearby.
Practical running costs and constraints are straightforward: the property uses electric storage heating and has an EPC rating of C. The lease has 106 years remaining, ground rent is £395pa and the service charge (£5,317.78pa, paid biannually) is notably above average — an important consideration for budgeting. The apartment is small (approx. 418 sq ft) and there is no private outdoor space.
Overall this apartment will appeal to downsizers or retirees wanting a secure, well‑kept, low‑upkeep home in an affluent suburb. It’s ideal for someone who values convenience and community but is mindful of service charges and electric heating costs.
