A bright ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment set within The Dairy, offering easy, level access and a private patio opening onto landscaped communal gardens. The dual-aspect living room floods with natural light and connects directly to outside seating, creating a pleasant indoor-outdoor flow for relaxation and visitors.
The development is purpose-built for over-70s and includes an Estate Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, an on-site bistro, communal lounge, wellbeing suite and two hours’ domestic assistance included in the service charge. Practical features include a modern fitted kitchen, wet-room style shower, walk-in wardrobe and underfloor electric heating.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a very long lease and an annual service charge of £12,182 and ground rent of £435. The vendor will pay the service charge for the first two years, reducing immediate running costs, but ongoing charges are high and should be budgeted for. Heating is electric underfloor heating which may affect energy bills.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a secure, sociable community with onsite facilities and support available. It offers low-access ground-floor living and convenient links to Tunbridge Wells town centre, while buyers should factor in the service charge and electric heating when assessing affordability.
