Well-appointed McCarthy Stone apartment with on-site care and communal facilities.
One-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment with Juliette balcony and pleasant outlook
A well-equipped one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Wilton Court, designed for independent living with on-site care support. The building offers 24-hour staffing, an on-site waitress restaurant, homeowners' lounge, guest suite and personal care packages from a CQC-registered team. The apartment itself features a spacious L-shaped living room with Juliette balcony, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and a wet-room style bathroom with level access shower.
This property suits buyers aged 70+ seeking convenience and community rather than extensive DIY. Practical benefits include full wheelchair accessibility, mobility scooter storage and charging, Gfast fibre broadband, and an allocated parking permit scheme (subject to availability). The lease remains long at 113 years and council tax is described as low, giving medium-term security for a retirement purchase.
Be aware of the material running costs: the service charge is high at £10,671.77 per year (FY ending 31/03/2026) and ground rent is £435 pa with a review due in 2028. Parking is by permit and not guaranteed; allocated spaces are subject to availability. The development is in a very affluent area with excellent mobile signal but local crime is reported as above average — consider visiting at different times to assess feeling of security.
Overall this apartment offers a low-maintenance, community-focused retirement lifestyle with onsite care options and convenient local amenities, but buyers should weigh the substantial service charge and parking limitations before proceeding.
