This first-floor retirement apartment in Pilbrow Court offers practical, low-maintenance living for the over-60s. The one-bedroom layout (approx. 506 sq ft) includes a separate kitchen, shower room and a bright lounge with PVCu double glazing. The block provides lift access, a communal lounge with regular social events, and laundry facilities — useful for those seeking an independent but sociable environment.
Important costs and tenure details are clear: the property is leasehold with c.97 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,236.62 (from Sept 2025) and ground rent of £510.19 per year. An exit fee of 2% on future sale proceeds applies. Prospective buyers should factor these ongoing charges into affordability calculations and check figures with the management company before exchange.
Practicalities: heating is electric (storage/panel heaters) and there is no gas to the development. The building was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and while double glazing is fitted, buyers should check the age and condition of electrics and heating if energy cost or refurbishment is a concern. The development is designed for independent living and does not provide care services.
Overall, this flat suits a downsizer looking for a sociable retirement setting with lift access and communal facilities, who accepts leasehold costs and electric heating in return for a straightforward, ready-to-live-in home.
