Compact, low-maintenance flat with communal roof terrace and parking.
Top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with balcony
A compact, top-floor retirement apartment in South Lancaster offering independent living with communal support. The one-bedroom flat sits in a converted Victorian building and benefits from a modern open-plan lounge and kitchen, a double bedroom and an accessible wet room — ideal for downsizers seeking straightforward, low-maintenance living.
Residents have access to multiple communal spaces, a spectacular roof terrace, communal gardens and allocated off-street parking, adding social and outdoor options beyond the apartment’s 342 sq ft. The property is well located for local shops, bus links and nearby schools, with excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity.
Buyers should note the leasehold costs: a long 999-year lease provides security, but the annual service charge is high at £8,984.81 (to June 2025) and ground rent is £435 per year. Heating is electric underfloor, and the small overall size means limited storage and living space — a good fit for single occupants or couples prioritising convenience over roominess.
A virtual viewing is available to inspect the layout and communal facilities; an internal inspection is recommended to appreciate the apartment’s condition and the benefits of the building’s communal amenities.
