This one-bedroom, chain-free retirement flat sits on Hoddesdon High Street within a gated McCarthy & Stone development designed for over-60s. The apartment is compact (approximately 413 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional layout with a living room, fitted kitchen, bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a walk-in shower. Practical features include lift access, double glazing, electric storage heaters and off-street parking.
Communal facilities are a key draw: two residents’ lounges, communal laundry, a guest suite, 24-hour emergency call system and an on-site development manager provide social and practical support for independent retirees. The location places shops, health services, library and bus routes on your doorstep, making day-to-day errands straightforward without regular car use.
Important considerations: the lease has around 88 years remaining and the ongoing costs are material — an annual service charge of £3,721.92 and ground rent of £542.61. Heating is electric storage, which can be more costly than gas. The apartment’s compact size and dated fittings in places make it best suited to someone seeking low-maintenance, central retirement living rather than a large, modern home.
Overall this flat will suit a buyer aged 60+ wanting a convenient, community-orientated base in Hoddesdon town centre, with clear communal support and easy access to local amenities. Buyers should budget for the service charges, ground rent and potential modest refurbishment to refresh interiors.
