Set on the second floor of a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development, this one-bedroom retirement apartment offers straightforward, low-effort living for over-60s. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen and bathroom across approximately 455 sq ft, with lift access, CCTV entry and communal gardens enhancing daily convenience.
On-site facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite, communal laundry and a development manager supported by a 24-hour emergency call system. Off-street residents’ parking and a communal satellite dish are provided (note that satellite use incurs additional fees). The building was completed in the mid-2000s and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold. Service charges are currently £3,609.24 pa and ground rent £514.14 pa; these are material running costs to budget for. The lease has around 94 years remaining. The apartment is suited to buyers seeking a manageable, well-serviced home rather than a project for major renovation.
