This second-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment in Townsend Court offers low-maintenance living within a well-regarded McCarthy Stone assisted living development. Designed for those aged 60 and over, the home sits close to Rushden town centre and overlooks well-kept communal gardens, with on-site communal facilities and staff support available.
Practical conveniences include communal parking, a camera entry system, 24-hour staff cover and an emergency Careline alarm. The apartment is chain free, has a long lease (about 110 years remaining) and a strong Energy Performance rating (B84), making it straightforward for buyers wanting immediate occupation and security.
Buyers should note the high annual service charge (£10,304.77) and substantial ground rent (£876.97 pa). Service charges cover staffing, cleaning, garden maintenance and building insurance but materially increase ongoing costs. Heating is electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, which may affect running costs for some buyers.
The location is very convenient for local shops, public transport and nearby amenities, but the wider area scores as deprived with higher local crime figures. A viewing is recommended to assess the apartment’s space and to weigh the lifestyle benefits of assisted living against the above running costs.
