Set within a well-crafted flint-and-brick retirement estate, this two-bedroom end-terrace cottage offers comfortable, low-maintenance living for the over-55s. The layout includes a spacious sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, conservatory and an enclosed patio garden that brings light and private outdoor space. A garage provides secure parking and there is a guest suite on site for visiting family.
The development is managed by Cognatum Estates, which handles building maintenance, insurance, grounds, window cleaning and refuse collection, plus an on-site estate manager and personal alarm system for added reassurance. Residents also benefit from a communal laundry, guest accommodation and a minibus service for shopping and excursions — ideal for those seeking a 'lock-up-and-leave' lifestyle.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 116 years remaining and an above-average annual service charge (listed as £7,928). There is no flood risk, crime levels are low and local broadband and mobile signals are strong. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and buyers should factor the service charge into ongoing running costs.
This cottage will suit downsizers wanting a village feel with easy access to the Chilterns and local amenities, but it will particularly suit purchasers who prioritise communal support and concierge-style services over total autonomy of maintenance responsibilities.
