This ground-floor retirement apartment in Homethorne House offers practical, low‑maintenance living close to the town centre. Recently upgraded in 2023, it has new electric heaters, carpets, Karndean flooring to hall/wetroom/kitchen, and Virgin TV/broadband already installed, so it’s move‑in ready for someone seeking convenience and a manageable footprint.
The layout includes a light lounge/diner opening onto a small patio, a refitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a refitted wet room. On-site facilities include a resident manager, 24‑hour Appello emergency call system, communal lounge and laundry, plus a guest suite for visiting family — useful extras for independent retirees.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold and part of a larger McCarthy & Stone development; the immediate area has higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, so buyers should assess local safety and community services. Broadband speeds are average and heating is electric. The apartment suits downsizers or retirees wanting a secure, low‑upkeep home with communal support and nearby amenities.
