- Service charge c. £240.50/month (grounds, cleaning, water)

Set within an 18th-century manor and surrounded by extensive landscaped grounds and lakes, this two-bedroom penthouse offers peaceful, prestige retirement living. The apartment benefits from high ceilings, spacious rooms and a lift to the upper floors, combining period character with convenient, off-street parking and easy access to village amenities.
The property comes with a 999-year lease including a share of the freehold and a predictable service charge (£240.50/month; c. £2,886/year) covering window cleaning, grounds maintenance, communal cleaning and water. The hall and communal areas are elegantly maintained, enhancing day-to-day comfort and the sense of community on the estate.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is electric via room heaters (no communal gas), the original sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated, and broadband speeds are average. These factors may mean higher running costs and some scope for upgrading the apartment’s energy efficiency. Overall, this penthouse will suit buyers over 55 seeking a low-hassle, characterful home in a very affluent rural setting, with potential to personalise and modernise where desired.
