Designed for over-55s who want low-maintenance living with support on hand, this one-bedroom balcony apartment at Springfields delivers a bright, modern home in Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a decked balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, offering a pleasant spot for morning coffee. Lift access, level thresholds and wheelchair-friendly circulation make daily life easier for residents who use mobility aids.
The development provides 24-hour on-site staff, an on-site bistro, residents’ lounge, beauty salon and communal courtyard — practical amenities that suit downsizers seeking social facilities and peace of mind. The apartment benefits from integrated kitchen appliances, a wet-room style bathroom and an EPC rating of B, reflecting good energy performance.
This property is offered as 75% shared ownership with EMH Housing on a long lease (125 years from 1 April 2021). While service charges cover communal services and staff support, they are substantial and should be factored into running costs. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis rather than allocated spaces. Prospective buyers should confirm tenure details and shared-ownership terms with their legal advisor before offering.
Overall, Springfields suits a buyer seeking a secure, social retirement setting with contemporary finishes and practical support. It’s particularly appropriate for someone who values communal amenities and accessibility, but who is comfortable with shared ownership and the ongoing service charge commitment.
