New, low-maintenance one-bedroom apartment with extensive communal amenities and onsite care options..
Purpose-built retirement apartment, constructed 2023
A bright, low‑maintenance one‑bedroom apartment in Norton Place, a purpose-built retirement development in Baldock. The second-floor home is newly constructed (2023), sold leasehold with a very long 998‑year lease and designed for easy living, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in wardrobe and a walk-out balcony.
Onsite communal amenities are a major lifestyle draw: landscaped gardens, a communal lounge, chef‑run bistro, wellness suite, guest suite and regular visiting hair and nail professionals. An Estate Manager is onsite 24/7 and tailored domestic support or personal care can be arranged if needed, offering reassurance for future care needs.
Practical points to note: heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas central heating, and this is a leasehold retirement property so service charges and residency rules will apply (not specified here). The apartment is compact at about 518 sq ft — ideal for downsizers seeking manageable space but limiting for those needing larger storage or living areas.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking an active, sociable retirement setting with high‑quality communal facilities and low internal maintenance, provided they are comfortable with electric heating and leasehold arrangements.
