This first-floor retirement apartment at Locks View offers low-maintenance independent living in a modern McCarthy Stone development. The one-bedroom layout (approx. 559 sq ft) includes a generous living room, fitted kitchen and shower room, plus a French balcony and communal landscaped gardens for easy outdoor enjoyment.
Designed for over-60s, the building provides useful on-site support: a manager during office hours, a communal lounge for social events and a guest suite for visitors. Energy-saving features, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern lifestyles, while the 990-year lease gives long-term security.
Ownership is shared: example costs show a 50% share at £120,000 with a £275pcm service charge, or a 75% share at £180,000. Prospective buyers should budget for the ongoing service charge and understand the leasehold/shared ownership arrangement; council tax band is currently unknown.
Practical positives include no flooding risk, nearby shops, green spaces and the Wilts & Berks Canal. Note the apartment faces north-west (less direct sun), is on the first floor (lift provision not specified), and sits within a communal retirement setting — ideal for sociable downsizers but not for buyers seeking a fully private house.
