This purpose-built, low-maintenance two-bedroom apartment at Springs Court is designed for over-70s wanting the reassurance of Retirement Living PLUS. Built in 2019, Apartment 32 (first floor) offers a compact 792 sq ft layout with an en-suite, walk-in wardrobe and a south-west facing aspect that brings afternoon light to the living spaces. A long lease (987 years) and a strong SAP rating (up to 84) add practical value.
The development provides genuine care-led benefits: a CQC-registered team on site 24 hours, a monitored emergency call system, flexible care packages, a bistro-style restaurant serving daily meals, plus guest suite and parking. Shared ownership is available (examples shown: 50% share at £110,000 with £253pcm service charge; 75% share at £165,000), giving multiple purchase options for different budgets.
Buyers should note a few material points. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can raise running costs. broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime statistics are above average; the wider area is described as deprived. The service charge is modest compared with similar schemes, but shared ownership and service agreements affect long-term costs and resale considerations.
For someone downsizing who values on-site care, community amenities and minimal property upkeep, this apartment offers a secure, sociable base with adaptable care support. Those prioritising high-speed internet, low utility bills, or a neighbourhood with lower crime should consider these factors before viewing.
