This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Jowett Court is aimed at downsizers seeking low-maintenance living with on-site support. Built in 2012, the 474 sq ft flat offers a double bedroom, a medium-sized living area with French doors and an outlook over the communal car park and landscaped shrub beds. The development provides communal gardens and resident parking.
Designed for later living, the scheme includes a house manager, residents’ social lounge, communal laundry, 24-hour emergency call system and a guest suite (nominal fee) for visitors. The purpose-built block gives peace of mind and community while keeping private accommodation compact and manageable.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 109 years remaining. Annual service charge and ground rent are significant: approximately £2,631 service charge and £425 ground rent. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect streaming or working from home. The immediate outlook is over the car park rather than open views.
Overall, the apartment suits a single person or couple looking to downsize into supported, modern retirement accommodation with communal facilities. It delivers convenience and security but brings ongoing costs and some practical compromises, such as heating type, limited private outdoor space and slow internet connectivity.
