No onward chain — ready to buy immediately
A chain-free, two-double-bedroom retirement apartment in the well-regarded Townsend Court assisted-living development, designed for residents aged 60 and over. The lower-ground layout opens from a generous living room onto a small patio and overlooks mature communal gardens, offering a private outdoor spot without garden upkeep. Communal facilities and on-site staff provide day-to-day convenience and peace of mind.
This purpose-built McCarthy Stone development (circa 2008) includes communal lounges, conservatory, laundry, restaurant, lift access and 24-hour staff with emergency call systems. The apartment has double glazing and electric slimline storage heaters, an efficient C75 EPC rating and built-in kitchen appliances—suitable for those who want a comfortable, low-maintenance home near Rushden town centre and public transport links.
Important cost and practical facts: the property is leasehold with about 110 years remaining, a high annual service charge (£10,304.77) and substantial ground rent (£876.97 pa). The service charge covers staffing, communal maintenance, cleaning and utilities but materially increases running costs. The apartment is lower-ground floor (may be less bright than higher floors) and uses electric storage heating—consider this for mobility, lighting and running-cost expectations.
Overall, this is a well-equipped assisted-living apartment that will suit downsizers seeking security, communal life and nearby amenities. Prospective buyers should check lease terms, service charge arrangements and confirm suitability of the lower-ground position for their mobility and lifestyle needs.
