South/East Juliet balcony overlooking communal gardens
A practical, low-maintenance one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Belper, designed for comfortable retirement living. Set on the second floor of the well-regarded Heritage Court development, the flat benefits from a south/east-facing Juliet balcony overlooking attractive communal gardens and easy access to the town centre, shops and transport links.
The development is aimed at residents aged 60+ and offers helpful communal facilities: a lounge, laundry, guest accommodation, on-site parking, lift access, an in-house manager and a 24-hour careline. The apartment itself offers a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a living/dining room with Juliet balcony, a fitted kitchen and a modern walk-in shower room — practical spaces with straightforward finishes.
Important practical points to note: the property is leasehold with about 106 years remaining, an annualised service charge of around £2,481.60, and ground rent charged at £197.50 half-yearly. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building uses mains electricity rather than a communal fuel system. There is a high flooding risk for the area which buyers should check with their insurer or solicitor.
Chain free and ready for quick completion, this apartment will suit downsizers seeking a town-centre location with communal support and low-maintenance living. Buyers should factor in service charges, ground rent and the electrical heating system when considering running costs and any future alterations.
