This recently redecorated one-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of a McCarthy & Stone retirement development, designed for over-60s who want low-maintenance living close to local amenities. The flat has a bright living/dining room overlooking the communal gardens, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a fully tiled bathroom. On-site facilities include a residents’ lounge, south-facing communal gardens, guest suite and laundry room for added convenience.
Practical support is a strong feature: there is a camera entry system, lift access, a house manager, a 24-hour careline emergency system and an available guest suite. Newly fitted carpets and fresh decoration mean the apartment is move-in ready. Parking is available to lease (believed to be around £250 per year) and broadband and mobile signal are strong in the area.
Important financial and maintenance points: the lease has approximately 85 years remaining and will need renewal sooner rather than later; this can affect mortgage availability and costs. Annual service charges are about £2,544 and ground rent is £450 per year. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which may be more expensive than mains gas alternatives for some buyers.
Location suits those seeking a quiet, comfortable suburban setting with good local shops, GP services and bus links to High Wycombe. Council Tax Band B keeps ongoing costs lower. The apartment offers a secure, community-focused retirement option with clear trade-offs around lease length, service charges and electric heating to consider.
