Second-floor penthouse apartment with private walk-out balcony
Designed exclusively for the over-60s, this stylish one-bedroom penthouse apartment offers easy low-maintenance living in a leafy village setting. The second-floor roof-space position creates a characterful penthouse feel with generous open-plan living, lots of natural light and a private walk-out balcony for fresh air and views.
Practical storage is strong: a walk-in wardrobe, hallway cupboard and additional store cupboard keep belongings organised. The modern shower room has a roomy double shower and the kitchen is integrated into the living space for sociable, accessible day-to-day living. A House Manager is onsite during office hours and communal landscaped gardens and resident social spaces encourage a friendly community.

There are example share options including a 50% share with rent and a 75% purchase option; buyers should review shared-ownership terms and ongoing charges carefully.
