This first-floor retirement apartment in Speakman Court offers a compact, comfortable home designed for over-60s living. Recently refurbished, the flat has a modern kitchen and shower room, upgraded central heating, and fitted bedroom wardrobes that make efficient use of the 428 ft² layout.
Residents benefit from on-site support and communal facilities: a dedicated House Manager during working hours, 24-hour emergency call systems, camera door entry, a cosy communal lounge, mature communal gardens, and a guest suite available to visiting family (charged at £25 per night). The development is managed by McCarthy & Stone and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile and fast broadband coverage.
Practicalities to note: the property is leasehold with 110 years remaining, an annual service charge of £2,544 (year ending 28/2/24), and ground rent of £425 pa (next review 2025). The apartment’s overall size is small, so it suits someone seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home rather than large living spaces.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking security, community, and low-upkeep living close to Altrincham amenities. It’s move-in ready following recent updates, but buyers who prefer larger rooms or private outdoor space may find the footprint limiting.
