Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with lift, gardens and off-street parking — ideal for downsizers.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment with lift access
A well-appointed one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a McCarthy & Stone development, positioned to overlook well-kept communal gardens. The flat is designed for easy living, with wide doorways, lift access and a replacement bathroom featuring a walk-in shower — a practical choice for downsizers or those seeking step-free access.
The interior includes modern Fischer storage heaters, a replacement hot water cylinder and double glazing installed post-2002. The property comes with communal parking and benefits from a quiet, affluent neighbourhood close to local shops, healthcare and good-rated schools.
Important transactional points: the property is leasehold with 101 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £3,131 and ground rent of £774.39. Heating is electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated D, so running costs for warmth may be higher than gas-heated homes.
There are some occupancy restrictions in the block (no pets, no business use, limits on caravans/boats) and a mining-search is recommended due to the region’s mining heritage. Overall this apartment offers low-maintenance, accessible living in a popular retirement-style development but buyers should budget for service charges, ground rent and potentially higher heating costs.
