Step into a welcoming first-floor apartment designed for independent over-60s living. The open-plan lounge/diner and well-equipped kitchen with integrated NEFF appliances create bright, low-maintenance living. A generous bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a high-quality shower room (Porcelanosa tiles; Villeroy & Boch fittings) make daily life comfortable and modern.
This gated development offers security and community: CCTV entry, a Lifehost on-site (Mon–Fri 9–4), a 24-hour emergency care line, lift access and a lively owners’ lounge with regular social events. Landscaped communal gardens, a guest suite and off-street parking (available, typically charged around £250pa) add practical convenience for owners and visiting family.
Important costs and practicalities are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 242 years remaining, a service charge of about £5,365–£5,778pa (reported above average) and ground rent £525pa (reviewed periodically). Heating is provided through a community scheme. Council tax is band E. These running costs and the service charge should be factored into affordability for buyers on a fixed income.
Overall, the apartment suits buyers seeking a secure, sociable retirement base in Marlborough’s affluent and well-served town fringe. It offers modern finishes and community amenities while requiring prospective purchasers to budget for relatively high ongoing charges. Viewing is recommended to assess the communal environment and to confirm individual needs such as mobility, pet approval and parking arrangements.
