This ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in Barnes Wallis Court is designed for comfortable, independent living for over-65s. South-facing windows look out onto well-kept communal gardens, and the sitting room’s feature fireplace and direct kitchen access create a light, practical living space. The large, accessible bathroom and substantial hallway storage make daily life easier for anyone with mobility needs.
Barnes Wallis Court offers strong on-site support: a 24-hour house manager, Tunstall emergency pull-cord system, communal lounge, restaurant with subsidised meals, laundry and mobility scooter charging. The block is quiet, well-maintained and benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating.
Important practical points: the apartment is leasehold and electric-heated (storage heaters), so heating costs should be considered. Off-street parking is available but offered on a first-come, first-served basis and is not formally allocated. The property sits in a medium flood-risk area. Service charges cover many communal services but will apply alongside the leasehold terms.
This home suits a buyer seeking a low-maintenance retirement setting with on-site services, communal facilities and easy access to local village shops and transport links. It’s best for someone prioritising support and community over private parking certainty or gas central heating.
