Summary - Flat 57, Darwin Court, Harold Road CT9 2JX
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Managed retirement living with 24-hour on-site support and communal facilities.
Second-floor two-bedroom apartment, approximately 730 sq ft
This two-bedroom second-floor apartment in Darwin Court offers low-maintenance retirement living with on-site care and communal facilities. The McCarthy & Stone development provides 24-hour staff, lift access to all floors, a residents’ lounge and restaurant, plus one hour of domestic assistance included weekly. The flat’s 730 sq ft layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, two double bedrooms and a wet room, ready for immediate occupation.
Practical running costs and tenure are important: the property is leasehold with 105 years remaining and a ground rent of £475. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building uses electricity as main fuel, so heating costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are average and the area shows high crime levels and significant local deprivation, which buyers should weigh against the low asking price.
This apartment is well suited to someone seeking assisted retirement living, or an investor targeting sheltered housing lets. The development’s communal management reduces personal maintenance, while the lift, level access and support services add everyday convenience. Buyers should consider the ongoing service charges and the electric heating when budgeting for occupation or letting.
