Low-maintenance living with on-site support and modern finishes.
Ground-floor one-bed with private patio and communal gardens
A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment designed for independent retirement living in the award-winning Cranberry Court. The layout offers a spacious living room with French doors to a private patio, a fitted kitchen, generous bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and a modern wet-room style shower. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, landscaped gardens, laundry room and on-site visiting house manager.
Safety and convenience are central: there is a 24-hour emergency call system, camera door entry, lift access to all floors and covered external maintenance included in the service charge. The development was purpose-built for over-60s and includes features such as Sky connection points and full-fibre broadband for modern connectivity.
Running costs and tenure details are clear: the property is leasehold with a long remaining term (999 years from 2018), an annual service charge of £2,769.78 and ground rent of £425 pa (next review 2033). Heating is electric room heaters, so energy bills can be higher than gas-heated homes. The local area offers shops, Serpentine Green shopping centre and healthcare facilities within easy reach, making this a practical downsizing option.
This apartment will suit buyers looking to simplify maintenance and enjoy community living. It is important to budget for the service charge and electric heating costs, and to note the development’s higher local crime rating shown in area data when evaluating personal security preferences.
