This two-bedroom apartment occupies a first-class High Street position within Bushey House, a Grade II listed Georgian building set around well-kept communal gardens. Arranged as independent living for the over-55s, the apartment is presented in good decorative order and benefits from a generous lounge with balcony, two built-in-wardrobe bedrooms and a compact modern kitchen.
The development is aimed at downsizers who want low-maintenance living with optional care and entertainment packages on site. Residents can use communal rooms and gardens, join regular social activities, and take advantage of assisted-living services such as catering, laundry and personal care if required. Off-street residents and visitor parking adds convenience in this prime High Street location.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the property is leasehold, sold as a probate sale and restricted to purchasers aged 55+, and the Grade II listing may limit alterations and complicate some repair or upgrade work. The building’s solid-brick construction suggests limited cavity insulation; expect higher heating or retrofit costs and an expensive council tax band. Additional fees for leasehold packs and service charges for the community heating and care services should be checked before purchase.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking a sociable, low-maintenance retirement setting in a historic, central location. It offers immediate occupancy with no onward chain, sensible communal support options, and the trade-offs inherent in living in a listed, communal retirement scheme.
