A bright one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Farthings Court, offered with no upward chain. Lift access serves this well-presented McCarthy & Stone development, which includes communal lounge, laundry and landscaped gardens overlooking Castle Gardens. The flat has a generous bedroom, a spacious shower room, lounge and a fitted kitchen with views across the car park.
Practical features suit downsizers: 108 years remaining on the lease, double glazing and 24-hour emergency pull cords. The building is purpose-built for over-55s and runs an activities programme for residents who wish to join in. Council Tax sits in Band B and there is no flooding risk.
Notable costs and constraints are clear: the property is leasehold with a service charge of £3,601.72 per year (paid half-yearly as £1,800.86) and limited resident parking spaces. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas and may influence bills. Broadband speeds are average and the apartment overlooks the car park rather than a private view.
Overall this apartment offers low-maintenance, community-focused retirement living in a very affluent market town location. It will suit someone seeking convenience, communal facilities and straightforward access to Bridgnorth’s shops, healthcare and local amenities, while accepting the running costs and parking limitations that come with managed retirement developments.
