Comfortable, low-maintenance living close to shops and transport for over-60s.
Two-bedroom second-floor apartment with lift access
Designed for independent retirement living, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment sits in a well-kept McCarthy & Stone development with lift access to all floors. The home offers bright rooms that face the communal gardens and a practical layout across about 703 sq ft — straightforward to maintain and easy to furnish. On-site communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, regular social events, and a guest suite for visiting family.
Practical features suit a downsizer: a 24/7 emergency call system, a Development Manager, and a minimum age of 60 for residents. The building is in a convenient spot with shops and a bus stop within a five-minute walk, plus good mobile signal and low local crime — helpful for everyday convenience and peace of mind.
Be aware of the ownership and running costs: the lease was granted in 1998 with around 97 years remaining, the current service charge is £5,589.92 per year and the ground rent is £730.66. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be less economical than gas alternatives, and broadband speeds are average. The living room décor is dated and offers scope for updating if desired.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a social, low-maintenance retirement setting close to local amenities and transport. It offers immediate move-in potential with clear opportunities to modernise heating and internal finishes over time to improve comfort and running costs.
