1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable low-maintenance retirement living with communal support and gardens.
One-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment, approx. 553 sq ft
A compact, well-kept one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Windmill Grange, overlooking maintained communal gardens. The development offers 24-hour manning, a Development Manager, lift access and communal lounges — useful for social living and peace of mind.
The apartment is practical and straightforward: an average-sized living room, a neat kitchen and bathroom within approximately 553 sq ft. Off-street private parking is available subject to availability, and water rates plus 90 minutes of weekly cleaning are included in the service charge, reducing day-to-day chores.
Important points to weigh: the property is leasehold with about 89 years remaining and a service charge of £7,998.52 per year, which is above average and affects ongoing costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and subletting is not permitted — this is designed for owner-occupiers aged 55 and over.
This apartment suits someone downsizing or seeking low-maintenance, community-led retirement living in a very affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Buyers should budget for running costs and consider lease length when assessing long-term value.
