This well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment sits on the second floor of Goodes Court, a modern McCarthy & Stone development close to Royston town centre and local green spaces. The lounge is spacious with room for dining, the kitchen has integrated appliances, and both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes. Communal spaces were recently refurbished and include a restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens and 24-hour on-site staffing for added reassurance.
The development is aimed at Retirement Living PLUS, so daily support and optional care packages are available from CQC-registered staff. Owners receive one hour of domestic assistance weekly as part of the service charge, and useful on-site amenities include a laundry, guest suite, mobility scooter store with charging point, and EV charging. Allocated parking is available by permit subject to availability.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (125-year lease from 2011, 111 years remaining), heated by electric storage heaters, and benefits from Gfast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The annual service charge is high at £13,275.87 and ground rent is £510 pa; prospective buyers should confirm exactly what the service charge covers and budget accordingly. Council tax is described as affordable.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking community, convenience and optional on-site care, but buyers must balance the lifestyle benefits against significant ongoing service costs and electric heating. Viewing is recommended to assess the apartment’s size and layout in person and to discuss any tailored care needs.
