A dual-aspect living room opens to a walk-out balcony overlooking landscaped courtyard gardens, creating a light, sociable living space. The kitchen is modern with built-in appliances and the master bedroom includes fitted wardrobes. A second double bedroom, contemporary wet room and separate guest cloakroom complete the internal layout.
The development provides strong on-site support and social facilities: 24-hour estate manager and emergency call system, a bistro restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and landscaped gardens. Practical extras include lift access, off-street parking and ultrafast full-fibre broadband — useful for staying connected and for visitors.
Important practical points are stated plainly: this is a leasehold retirement property with an age condition of 70+ for purchasers. The annual service charge is high (£13,637.98 for year to 31/03/2026) and there is an annual ground rent of £510. Heating is by electric room heaters, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The lease term (999 years from 2019) is very long and secure.
Overall, the apartment will suit buyers seeking a comfortable, social retirement setting with extensive communal services and minimal maintenance responsibility, provided they are comfortable with the level of ongoing service charges and electric heating.
