This bright two-bedroom apartment in Bilberry Place is designed for comfortable Retirement Living Plus for the over-70s. Set on the second floor, the home offers a large lounge/diner with direct access to a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens — a peaceful spot for morning coffee or reading. Two double bedrooms and generous built-in storage make daily living straightforward and uncluttered.
The development provides strong on-site support: an Estates Manager, 24-hour staffing, an emergency call system and a homeowners’ lounge. Many communal running costs are included in the service charge, which covers communal heating, water rates for shared areas, building maintenance, gardens and communal utilities — useful for buyers wanting straightforward budgeting of everyday communal services.
Buyers should note the material costs: an annual service charge of £11,157.16 and ground rent of £510 per year. Parking is available by permit at an additional fee and is subject to availability. The property is leasehold with approximately 994 years remaining — a very long lease — but the high service charge and ground rent are significant ongoing costs to factor into affordability.
Overall, this apartment suits retirees seeking secure, low-maintenance living with on-site support and social communal facilities. It is best for buyers prioritising convenience, safety and community, but those sensitive to high annual service charges should review the service charge breakdown carefully before committing.
