The development is purpose-built for those over 60 and focused on safety and convenience: a House Manager is on-site five days a week, a 24-hour Careline system is monitored continuously, and there is lift access, communal owners’ lounge and conservatory, plus an owners’ private car park. A guest suite is available for visitors and owners can use guest suites across the managing group’s other developments.
Useful facts for buyers: the lease has approximately 110 years remaining, service charges are currently £2,785.95 per year (covering building insurance, utilities in communal areas, garden upkeep, lift and manager services), and the property was built in 2010. Practical drawbacks to note are slow broadband speeds in the area and a higher local crime level; both are important for daily comfort and security considerations. Council Tax is Band C and parking is off-street.
