A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built McCarthy Stone Retirement Living PLUS development, designed for independent over-70s who want on-site care and communal facilities. The spacious living room opens onto a private patio; the bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and the shower room is level-access, making the layout practical and accessible. Ownership is straightforward with a very long lease (999 years from 2017) and an allocated disabled parking space included with the apartment.
Residents benefit from 24-hour on-site staffing, a bistro-style restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and a weekly hour of domestic support included in the service charge. The building offers security features such as a door-entry system linked to the TV and an intruder alarm, plus full-fibre broadband and mobility scooter charging/storage in communal areas.
Notable costs and considerations: the service charge is high (£8,659.29 pa for year ending 28/02/2026) and heating is electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system. The development sits on Station Road with immediate views of the road and neighbouring streets; Buxton town centre amenities and the railway station are within easy walking distance. Crime levels are reported above average for the area, which some buyers may wish to investigate further.
This apartment suits buyers seeking low-maintenance, accessible retirement living with on-site care support and social facilities, but it is less suitable for those prioritising low ongoing service charges or gas central heating.
