Summary - 52 Charter Court DN22 7ZA
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance over‑60s living close to town, park and shops.
Second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment with Juliette balcony
A bright two-bedroom second-floor apartment in a McCarthy Stone retirement development, designed for homeowners aged 60+. The living room features a Juliette balcony and electric fireplace; the separate kitchen includes integrated appliances. Built in 2009, the block sits within well-kept communal gardens and offers a homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and an on-site House Manager for weekday hours.
Practical benefits include energy-efficient construction, double glazing, a 24-hour emergency Careline and covered communal running costs (gardening, external maintenance, buildings insurance). The apartment is well placed for Retford town centre, Morrison’s and local green spaces with a bus stop directly outside.
Notable costs and limitations are clear: the property is leasehold (approx. 109 years remaining) with an annual service charge of £3,886.81 and a ground rent of £888.93 — both material ongoing expenses. Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, broadband speeds are slow in the area and car parking is on a first-come basis with no guaranteed allocated space.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance retirement setting with social facilities and on-site support, but who is comfortable with leasehold ownership, higher communal charges and electric heating. Viewing is recommended to assess space and layout for individual needs.
