Light-filled and practical, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Lowry Court is designed for comfortable retirement living. Lift access, communal gardens and an active residents’ lounge create a welcoming community, while on-site services — including a visiting hairdresser, laundry room and guest suites — add convenience for family visits. The long lease (c.962 years) and chain-free sale simplify ownership and resale.
The apartment offers a comfortable lounge with views over the communal gardens, a fitted kitchen with integrated fridge/freezer, a roomy double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a shower room. Warden control and well-maintained communal areas provide added peace of mind for independent living. Off-street parking is available for residents and visitors.
Buyers should note the property is electrically heated via storage heaters and runs on mains electricity (not a communal system), which can influence running costs compared with gas heating. The annual service charge is £3,600 and ground rent is £250 per year; these cover building insurance, communal maintenance and on-site services. The interior has some dated fittings and carpeting and would benefit from cosmetic updating to match contemporary tastes.
Overall this apartment is a sensible choice for someone seeking a low-maintenance, community-focused retirement home with good access to local shops and transport links. It suits downsizers who value security, communal amenities and straightforward ownership, while understanding the ongoing service charges and electric heating arrangement.
