This larger-than-average, lower-ground-floor apartment at Westley Court suits buyers aged 55+ seeking low-exertion living with direct garden access. The apartment is well presented with generous rooms, a combined dining-kitchen fitted with integrated appliances, and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Both the sitting room and dining-kitchen open directly to the well-maintained communal gardens, offering easy step-out outdoor space and pleasant rural views beyond the grounds.
Residents benefit from extensive onsite services: staffed reception, 24-hour security and night porters, communal lounge with conservatory and licensed bar, lift access, landscaped grounds and ample resident and visitor parking. The sale is chain-free and the long lease (163 years remaining) includes shares in the management company that owns the freehold.
Buyers should note material running costs and heating details: the service charge is £6,924 per year (paid monthly at £577) and includes many services listed, but is above average. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal central system, and Council Tax is band E, above average. The development is intended for over-55s but is not classified as sheltered housing.
Overall this is a comfortable, low-maintenance retirement home with social facilities and secure grounds, best for a downsizer who values communal services, garden access and convenience over low running costs or central heating.
