The light-filled lounge with Juliet balcony and the fitted kitchen with integrated appliances give a modern feel, while two double bedrooms and built-in storage suit couples or visiting family. Solar panels and economy heating support energy efficiency.
The development is very well appointed for independent retirement living: staffed communal facilities include a residents’ lounge with café, guest suite, wellness services, hair and beauty salon, lift access and an on-site support system with emergency pull-cords. Communal gardens, parking and secure entry add convenience for residents and visitors, and the location places shops, healthcare and transport links within walking distance.
This property is offered as a 50% shared ownership purchase; the full market value is stated and a monthly rent applies on the remaining share. Buyers should note the above-average service charge and an unusually high ground rent figure recorded; these are material ongoing costs and will affect affordability. The long lease (990 years) and modern construction are strong positives.
Overall, the apartment suits someone seeking a modern, low-maintenance retirement base with onsite amenities and nearby services. It is best for buyers comfortable with shared ownership and the service and rent commitments that accompany a sheltered scheme.
