This well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment occupies a first-floor position in Ravenshaw Court and benefits from a peaceful outlook over adjacent fields. The home has been recently refreshed with new carpets and a newly installed boiler (2024) covered by a ten-year warranty, so immediate maintenance needs are minimal. A spacious lounge/diner with French doors and a Juliet balcony brings in light and makes the living space feel welcoming.
Ravenshaw Court is designed for over-70s who want support on hand while retaining independence. The development includes lift access to all floors, 24-hour on-site staffing, a homeowners’ lounge, table‑service restaurant, guest suite, and landscaped gardens maintained for you. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included in the service charge; additional help and personal care packages are available from a CQC‑registered team.
Important costs to note: the annual service charge is high at £13,087.18 (year ending 30/09/2025) and ground rent is £510 pa, with the lease showing approximately 115 years remaining. Heating is electric underfloor, which should be considered when assessing running costs. Parking is available by permit with a typical fee around £250 pa (subject to availability).
This apartment suits downsizers seeking a low‑maintenance, secure retirement setting with on-site care options and social facilities. It offers a straightforward move-in condition with obvious lifestyle advantages, but prospective buyers should weigh the ongoing service charge, ground rent and electric heating against the convenience and care provision on offer.
