Onsite Estate Manager 24/7, communal bistro and guest suite

Leasehold retirement scheme restricted to over-70s
Light, low-maintenance living designed for the over-70s, this third-floor one-bedroom apartment combines contemporary finishes with communal convenience. The open-plan living area and skylit kitchen create a bright, airy feel while a walk-in wardrobe and hallway storage keep the home clutter-free.
Residents benefit from extensive communal facilities: landscaped gardens, a bistro with daily menus, stylish lounge spaces, regular social clubs and an onsite Estate Manager available 24/7. There’s a guest suite for visitors and a sociable community atmosphere ideal for downsizers seeking companionship and convenience.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold (997 years remaining) in a 2023-built development, with electric room heating and an SAP rating up to 82. The apartment is well-connected with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, but it sits in a city area with higher local crime and relative deprivation — communal living and security arrangements should be a factor in your decision.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a modern, low-upkeep retirement base with social amenities on the doorstep. It offers immediate move-in condition but note the electric heating and communal setting when comparing running costs and lifestyle preferences.
