1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low‑maintenance retirement living beside the canal with communal amenities.
Third-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with walk-out balcony
Set on the third floor of the Locks View retirement development, this one-bedroom shared-ownership apartment offers low-maintenance living for over-60s. The home is new-build, energy-efficient and fitted with a 24-hour emergency call system for peace of mind. A north-west facing walk-out balcony provides a private spot to enjoy canal-side views and fresh air.
The development emphasises sociable, managed retirement living: a contemporary communal lounge, landscaped shared gardens, guest suite and an on-site manager during office hours. Service charge is modest for the sector, and the long lease (c.990 years) reduces long-term tenure concerns.
Known limitations are factual and straightforward: this is leasehold shared ownership (various share options; subletting restricted and subject to landlord consent), and the apartment sits within a multi-unit block with communal grounds rather than a private garden. The manager is on-site only during office hours, so daily support is limited to those times.
This apartment suits someone seeking an independent, low-upkeep retirement lifestyle close to shops, green spaces and the Wilts & Berks Canal, with social amenities and occasional visitors catered for. Buyers should check the specific shared-ownership share options and any provider rules before committing.
