Town-centre, supported living with sociable communal facilities and nearby rail links.
Purpose-built retirement apartment for over-70s
A bright, purpose-built one-bedroom retirement apartment in Oakfield Court, designed for independence and easy living for the over-70s. The apartment offers a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen with waist-height oven, walk-in wardrobe and a level-access shower — practical features that reduce daily strain. Large windows bring in good light and the layout suits single occupants or couples seeking manageable, comfortable accommodation.
The development provides a strong support network: an on-site estate manager and care staff 24-hours a day, a bistro, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite, landscaped gardens and a 24-hour emergency call system. Urmston town centre, local shops and Urmston train station are all a short walk away, making errands and local trips straightforward without needing a car.
Be clear on ongoing costs and specifications: the annual service charge is £8,286.10 and ground rent £435 per year; parking is by permit subject to availability and costs £250 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect streaming or large downloads. The long lease (about 115–116 years remaining) offers security, but buyers should budget for the relatively high service charge and consider the electric heating arrangement.
