Step into comfortable, low-maintenance retirement living at 7 Oakwood Court, a modern one-bedroom ground-floor apartment designed for independent residents over 60. The bright open-plan lounge with French doors leads to a sun lounge/patio overlooking landscaped communal gardens, while a roof terrace and communal lounge provide additional space for socialising and fresh-air relaxation. Practical features include generous built-in storage, a walk-in wardrobe in the bedroom and a modern shower room.
The development is purpose-built for older owners and offers 24-hour assistance, lift access, a house manager, a guest suite and a mobility scooter charging point – conveniences that support independent living and visiting family. The property is freehold with an affordable monthly service charge that covers communal utilities, the emergency call system and garden upkeep, so running chores are mostly taken care of.
Buyers should note some important practical points: heating is electric, which can be more expensive than mains gas in long winters, and allocated residents’ parking is subject to availability. The property sits in a very deprived, transitional neighbourhood, which may affect local services and long-term resale expectations despite the flat’s good condition and fast broadband.
Overall this is a sensible, low-upkeep home for a single person or couple seeking secure retirement accommodation close to Inverness city amenities. It also offers straightforward buy-to-let potential for investors targeting the retirement market, though location factors should be weighed alongside the property’s positives.
