Set within a prestigious retirement village and backing onto open meadows, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers comfortable, low-maintenance living and attractive communal facilities. The 851 sq ft apartment is presented in very good condition with a bright living room leading to a paved patio and lawned communal garden — ideal for morning sun and easy outdoor access.
The accommodation includes two double bedrooms, two bathrooms (one ensuite), a fitted Symphony kitchen with integrated Bosch and Siemens appliances, and generous built-in storage. The development provides extensive on-site amenities including 24-hour concierge, restaurant and bar, leisure complex with pool and gym, salon, and wide communal grounds across 250 acres.
Important tenure and cost details: the property is leasehold (125-year lease from December 2006, c.108 years remaining), with a service charge of £7,776 pa, ground rent £300 pa and a parking permit fee of £365 pa. A resale transfer arrangement applies: 20% of the profit on future resale plus an assignment fee of £500 + VAT — this significantly affects long-term sale proceeds and should be factored into affordability and estate planning.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking an active retirement lifestyle with on-site services and countryside views. It offers convenience and community, but buyers must accept the higher ongoing service charge, slow local broadband and the resale profit-sharing arrangement when weighing value and future saleability.
