A well-presented first-floor apartment in Charlwood Court, an age-restricted McCarthy Stone development for the over-60s, located a short, level stroll from St Marychurch village amenities. The apartment faces south-west, enjoys bright living spaces and has two double bedrooms and a modern shower room. EPC C (77) and double glazing contribute to reasonable running costs.
Communal facilities are a key benefit: a resident house manager, lounge, laundry, guest suite, attractive landscaped gardens and level access to the building. The development sits close to Babbacombe Downs, local shops, GP and transport links, making it convenient for everyday errands and leisure activities.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, and parking is on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated spaces. Service charges and ground rent are significant — the stated service charge totals £6,091.42 per year and ground rent £832.86 per year — and prospective buyers should confirm the exact lease term and running costs. The management company sets use rules: holiday letting is prohibited and pets require consent.
Overall, this comfortable, low-maintenance flat will suit a buyer seeking a social, managed retirement setting near local shops and the coast, provided they are comfortable with the ongoing service charge and communal parking arrangement.
