Quietly positioned on the first floor of Goodes Court, this two-bedroom retirement apartment offers a comfortable, low-maintenance home with practical support close at hand.

The purpose-built wet room and separate WC are designed for accessible living, and a walk-in storage cupboard adds useful space.
Goodes Court is a McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living PLUS development with an on-site Estate Manager, 24-hour staffing, a waitress-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, function room, guest suite and laundry facilities. There is a mobility scooter charging point and landscaped communal gardens, plus allocated parking by permit (subject to availability).
Important cost and tenure details are straightforward but significant: the property is leasehold (approximately 113 years remaining) with a high annual service charge (£13,275.87 for the year ending 31 March 2026) and a ground rent of £510 per year. The service charge covers many communal services and a weekly hour of domestic assistance, but buyers should check which personal care packages are available and confirm any eligibility for benefits that may offset costs.
This apartment will suit someone seeking an independent, supported retirement setting close to Royston’s town centre and green spaces. The building is modern (built 2007–2011) with double glazing and electric storage heating; however, buyers should note the reliance on electric heating and the ongoing communal service costs when assessing running expenses.
