Practical one-bed retirement flat with balcony, house manager and 24-hour careline.
Upper-ground one-bedroom retirement apartment with balcony
This compact upper-ground retirement apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-60s in a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone block. The living room opens to a balcony with a pleasant communal-green outlook, and the property benefits from contemporary finishes and wood-effect flooring throughout the main living space.
Residents have access to a house manager (office hours), a 24-hour emergency Appello careline, lift access to all floors, residents’ lounge, communal laundry and a guest suite—features that support independent retirement living and provide convenience and peace of mind.
Buyers should note a significant drawback: the lease has approximately 55–56 years remaining. This is likely to restrict mortgage availability and could affect future resale value. Service charges are currently £2,885.54 per year and ground rent is to be confirmed.
Practical specifics: the apartment is small at about 425 sq ft with electric storage heating and double glazing installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. The area suits retired independent city dwellers, but local crime levels are above average, so consider personal security and insurance implications.
