A compact one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Woodmere Court, a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development of about 53 flats with lift access. The flat offers an entrance hall, living room, fitted kitchen, one bedroom and a separate bathroom — a straightforward, low-maintenance layout suitable for a single resident or couple.
Residents benefit from communal facilities including a residents' lounge, communal laundry, guest room, on-site Development Manager and a 24/7 Appello emergency call system. The building is age-restricted (minimum 60 for single purchasers; couples rules apply) and has a landscaped, street-facing entrance with mature planting and paved approach.
Practical considerations: the property uses electric room heaters (no communal gas), has double glazing installed before 2002, and broadband speeds are average. The lease has about 88 years remaining; annual service charge is £3,111.98 with ground rent £482.43 — these are significant ongoing costs to factor into long-term affordability. The local area is an urban cultural mix within a major conurbation with average crime levels and some area deprivation.
