Set within Magdalene Court, this compact one-bedroom flat offers a low-maintenance central base for over-60s who want to be within easy walking distance of Baldock High Street. The first-floor apartment provides a comfortable lounge, a good-sized bedroom and a modern bathroom. Residents benefit from communal facilities including a lounge, gym, laundry and gardens that support a sociable, independent lifestyle.
Practical strengths include an EPC rating of B, double glazing and cavity-wall insulation, plus the development’s construction date (2003–2006) which gives relatively modern building standards. The property is chain free and sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with average broadband and mobile signal — helpful for keeping in touch with family and local services.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement apartment with an annual ground rent of £359 and is offered for over-60s only. The overall internal area is small (approx. 384 sq ft) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas central heating. Being on the first floor may mean stairs rather than lift access depending on the block layout.
This home will suit a downsizer who values convenience and communal amenities over large living spaces. It’s a straightforward, low-upkeep option in a well-served town centre location, though buyers seeking more spacious accommodation or gas heating should consider this when viewing.
