Low-maintenance two-bed retirement apartment with village amenities and secure parking.
Second-floor apartment with lift access and Juliette balcony
Set on the second floor and accessed easily by lift, this two-bedroom retirement apartment in Agates House offers low-maintenance living within the private 30-acre Durrants Village. The open-plan living/dining room with a Juliette balcony and a fully fitted contemporary kitchen create a bright, sociable space for everyday life. Both double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; the principal bedroom includes an en-suite and there is a separate bathroom.
The village is designed for later-life independence with 24/7 call systems, on-site staff, hospitality services and optional domiciliary care. Residents benefit from communal facilities including a gym, relaxation pool, restaurant, library, croquet lawn and lake pavilion — useful for socialising or quiet pursuits. Secure off-street parking and lift access add everyday convenience.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (114 years remaining) and service charges, ground rent and event fees apply. Retirement properties of this type do not normally qualify for a standard mortgage and some buyers may prefer to factor in hospitality package costs. Broadband speeds are average and the village is set in countryside near Horsham, so it suits those prioritising tranquillity and onsite services over urban commuting.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to downsizers seeking a comfortable, well-equipped home with social amenities and support options on hand, while accepting the ongoing service charges and leasehold tenure that accompany retirement-village living.
