A purpose-built one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor, Sanford Court offers low-maintenance living with pleasant views over mature trees and a nearby park. Built by McCarthy & Stone in the mid-2000s, the development provides a lift, residents’ lounge, communal laundry, guest suite and 24/7 emergency call system — practical day-to-day support for over-60s.
The apartment is an average-sized one-bed with an L-shaped layout, double glazing and electric storage heating. Light-filled communal grounds and a nearby pub and town centre shops make it convenient for daily errands and socialising. A garage is included for parking, and broadband speeds are fast.
Buyers should note the service charge (£3,522.08) and ground rent (£788.81) are noticeable ongoing costs. The heating is electric storage heaters rather than gas, and some interior finishes (carpet, minor ceiling mold noted) suggest cosmetic updating may be needed. The lease has about 101 years remaining, providing long-term security for purchasers.
This apartment suits a retiree seeking a sociable, supported setting close to local amenities, or an investor targeting the retirement sector. The combination of communal services, accessible layout and nearby green space offers comfortable, manageable living with clear running costs to factor into the purchase decision.
