Low-maintenance retirement living with strong communal amenities and long lease.
Dual-aspect living room with space for dining
A well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of McKinlay Court, designed for over-60s seeking low-maintenance living. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite; the dual-aspect living room and modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances create comfortable, practical living. Landscaped communal gardens, a homeowners' lounge with Wi‑Fi and audio-visual equipment, a reading room, laundry suite and guest suite add social and visitor-friendly benefits.
Practical running costs and reassurance come from an on-site House Manager, a 24-hour emergency call system and covered external maintenance as part of the service charge. The lease has 114 years remaining, and allocated parking permits are available subject to availability (annual permit fee usually applies). This apartment is suitable for buyers wanting a ready-made retirement community with communal support and social facilities.
Notable considerations are the annual service charge (£4,055.96) and ground rent (£495), both payable in addition to council tax and utilities. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, and parking is by permit rather than guaranteed allocated space. Crime levels are recorded as above average locally; prospective buyers should factor this into any decision and check security arrangements on-site.
Overall this property offers a comfortable, low‑maintenance retirement home with strong communal amenities and a long lease, balanced against relatively high service charges, electric heating and parking availability constraints.
