A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment in Bilberry Place, designed for independent over-70s who want convenience and extra support on hand. The apartment offers a spacious living room with French doors to a walk-out balcony, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a generous wet-room style shower. Underfloor electric heating and ample storage add everyday comfort across approximately 775 sq ft of accommodation.
Bilberry Place is part of a Retirement Living PLUS development with 24-hour on-site staffing, an Estates Manager, an on-site table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite and a CQC-registered care team offering personal care packages. The service charge includes one hour of domestic assistance per week, communal utilities and the emergency call system—useful features for buyers seeking social facilities and peace of mind.
Important costs and practical notes are set out plainly: the annual service charge is £8,929.81 (year to 30/06/26) and ground rent is £435 per year, which prospective buyers should factor into affordability. Heating and hot water run from electric systems; broadband is average and local recorded crime levels are high, so security needs consideration despite secure camera entry and 24-hour staffing.
This apartment suits buyers downsizing who prioritise onsite support, social facilities and low-mobility features (non-slip bathroom flooring, raised sockets). The very long lease (999 years from 2017) is a strong tenure benefit. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the generous living space and balcony outlook in person.
