Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with private patio
A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in the popular Whitegates retirement development, offered chain free and ready to move into. The flat benefits from a bright lounge with large window and private patio, a well-fitted kitchen and bespoke bedroom wardrobes — an easy, low-stairs layout ideal for downsizers.
Practical features include electric heating, communal facilities (lounge, laundry and a rentable guest suite), and resident parking available to rent. The lease is long (125 years from 1 Jan 1989, expiring 2114) and the development enforces an age restriction of 60+, making this very much a retirement-focused home in central Cheadle with frequent bus links to Stockport and Manchester.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with significant annual charges: ground rent types listed at around £454–£520 and service charges approximately £3,850–£4,414 per year depending on unit type. Broadband speeds may be slow in parts and heating is electric, which can affect running costs. Council Tax is band C.
Overall, this apartment suits someone 60+ seeking a low-maintenance, centrally placed retirement home with private outdoor space and communal support facilities — provided you’re comfortable with the leasehold charges and electric heating.
