A bright, south-facing one-bedroom apartment on the first floor with a Juliet balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens. The open-plan living area and separate fitted kitchen suit a low-maintenance retirement lifestyle, and the built-in wardrobe plus storage cupboard help maximise the compact 482 sq ft layout.
The development is purpose-built for the over-60s and includes an on-site House Manager, a communal lounge for social events, a guest suite, landscaped grounds and a 24-hour emergency Careline for added peace of mind. Superfast broadband and excellent mobile signal are in place, and a bus stop is only about 150 yards away with local shops roughly 400 yards distant.
Practical considerations include an annual service charge of £3,380.52 and a high ground rent of £730.81 per year; a parking permit scheme operates subject to availability. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with 108 years remaining, so buyers should factor ongoing running costs and leasehold responsibilities into their budget.
This apartment will suit a downsizer seeking a managed, community-focused setting close to local amenities. It is well maintained and ready to move into, but the combination of service charge, ground rent and the surrounding area's higher crime and deprivation indicators mean buyers should assess suitability against budget and lifestyle priorities.
