A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Stukeley Court, designed for over-60s retirement living. The layout is practical: entrance hall, bright lounge with French doors to a sheltered patio, fitted kitchen, generous double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, modern walk-in shower room and useful utility cupboard with integrated washer/dryer. Underfloor electric heating and an EPC B rating give a comfortable, modern feel.
Residents benefit from strong communal provisions: landscaped gardens, visitor parking, a homeowners’ lounge, lift access, an on-site House Manager and a 24-hour emergency call system. The long lease (999 years from 2015, c.992 years remaining) and service charge that covers external maintenance, gardening, window cleaning, buildings insurance, water rates and communal energy provide low-maintenance ownership with limited day-to-day responsibilities.
This apartment is offered with no onward chain and is well suited to downsizers or those seeking an accessible, low-upkeep home near Stamford town centre and Burghley Grounds. Practical points to note: the home is leasehold with a ground rent of £425 (average) and an annual service charge; heating is electric underfloor, which can be more costly than mains gas in some cases; the development records a higher local crime statistic and the property is specifically for over-60s, restricting resale market size.
Overall this ground-floor flat delivers turn-key retirement living in a sought-after Stamford location. It’s a good fit for buyers prioritising convenience, communal support and low-exertion upkeep, while those concerned about running costs or resale flexibility should factor in the electric heating and tenure-related charges.
