Summary - 15, GILBERT PLACE, LOWRY WAY SN3 1FX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Modern two-bedroom retirement apartment with balcony, bistro and 24-hour emergency support.
Two double bedrooms plus separate guest toilet
Designed specifically for residents aged 70+, this well-kept two-bedroom retirement apartment sits in a modern 2018 development with landscaped grounds and on-site parking. The living room opens onto a private balcony for fresh air and morning sun, while two double bedrooms and a separate guest toilet provide comfortable, practical accommodation. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, bistro, laundry and 24-hour emergency call system, offering social and safety support without sacrificing independence.
Practical details suit someone seeking low-stress living: long lease (998 years), EPC rating B and contemporary finishes throughout. The building benefits from camera entry, good broadband and excellent mobile signal, helpful for staying connected with family and services. Nearby bus routes and local amenities make short journeys straightforward.
Be clear about the material trade-offs: heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which can raise running costs, and council tax is noted as above average. The property is leasehold and will have communal service charges and rules associated with retirement developments — factor these into your monthly budget. Local crime levels are recorded as above average; the building’s security measures help mitigate this but it is a local area consideration.
This apartment will suit someone seeking a supportive, sociable retirement setting with modern accommodation and long-term tenure security. It suits downsizers who prioritise community facilities, low-maintenance outdoor space and easy access to transport links, while understanding the higher running costs associated with electric heating and service-led living.
