A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor, close to the lift and enjoying views across Woodbridge. The open-plan living area feels light and modern, with a cream shaker kitchen, granite worktops and fitted Neff appliances. The layout suits a single occupant or couple wanting low-maintenance living in a purpose-built scheme.
Clarkson Court is a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development for the over-60s with extensive communal amenities: lounges with laid-on entertainment, tended gardens, two guest suites for visitors, and a 24-hour emergency call system. Communal events and on-site social spaces support an active, sociable retirement lifestyle while the town centre, shops, doctors and Notcutts garden centre are all within easy reach.
Practicalities are clear: the apartment is leasehold, chain-free and offered with about 108 years remaining on the lease. Annual costs include a service charge of £4,074.36 (covers communal utilities, window cleaning, emergency call system, gardening, contingency and buildings insurance) and a ground rent of about £495 per year. Parking is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and heating is by electric storage heaters/room heaters — note energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes.
This property will suit buyers seeking security, community and convenient nearby amenities rather than those wanting large private outdoor spaces or low ongoing service costs. The apartment’s size and specification make it a comfortable, ready-to-move-into retirement home with straightforward maintenance responsibilities.
