Summary - 22 Catherine Place, Pine Gardens, MELTON MOWBRAY LE13 1FH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Sociable, low-maintenance living near Melton Mowbray centre.
Bright living room with Juliet-style balcony
A bright, well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor, offering easy-access living and modern fixtures. The living room opens via double doors to a Juliet-style balcony, and the fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances. The double bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and the shower room is a wet-room style with support rails. Communal facilities are a major draw: landscaped gardens, a communal lounge with social events, a guest suite, lift access and an on-site House Manager provide convenience and companionship.
Practical features include an allocated off-street parking space, video door entry linked to the TV, full-fibre broadband availability and a 24-hour emergency call system. The development was built in 2018 and benefits from modern insulation and security systems, making it low-maintenance for residents who want a secure, sociable environment.
Notable costs and considerations are the leasehold status, a long lease (999 years from 2021) with an annual ground rent of £425 and an annual service charge of £2,822.62 (financial year ending 28/02/2026). Heating is electric room heaters, which may be more expensive to run than gas in colder months. The local area is described as very affluent but records above-average crime—worth checking current local reports if safety is a priority.
This apartment suits someone seeking a low-maintenance, community-focused retirement setting close to Melton Mowbray town centre amenities and regular markets. It combines modern convenience and safety features with communal social life, while buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and electric heating costs.
