This one-bedroom retirement flat sits on the second floor of Old Market Court, a purpose-built over-55s development in the heart of St. Neots town centre. The apartment has a refitted kitchen with integrated appliances (new fridge-freezer and microwave unused), a bright lounge and bedroom overlooking the communal gardens, and lift access to every floor. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry, hairdresser, and an on-site Development Manager with a 24-hour emergency call line.
The development offers immediate convenience: short walks to shops, healthcare, and local amenities, plus communal off-street parking and excellent mobile signal. The flat is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, so it’s ready for occupation or resale without delay. Low flood risk and average broadband are practical positives for everyday living.
Buyers should note important lease and cost facts. The lease has 61 years remaining; many mortgage lenders require longer terms and may refuse lending, so cash buyers or lease-extension planning are likely necessary. Annual service charges are high (£2,909.96 for 2024) though they cover water, buildings insurance, lift maintenance, gardens and the Development Manager. Ground rent is modest (£215.64 pa). There is also a reported higher local crime level compared with nearby areas.
This flat will suit a buyer seeking central convenience, on-site support and the social benefits of a retirement development. It offers a ready-to-use kitchen and comfortable accommodation but requires careful financial planning because of the lease length and ongoing charges.
