This one-bedroom second-floor apartment in Homecedars House offers low-maintenance retirement living close to local amenities. The development — built by McCarthy & Stone — provides communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and 24-hour Appello emergency call system, with a Development Manager on site and lift access to all floors.
The apartment is small (approximately 362 sq ft) with an average-sized lounge, compact kitchen and bedroom with built-in storage. The interior is serviceable but dated and will benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes; buyers should budget for redecoration and modest refurbishment.
Practical costs and tenure are clear: leasehold with about 86–88 years remaining, a service charge of £3,151.50 and ground rent of £439.30. A 1% transfer fee applies on sale. There is no flooding risk, mobile signal is excellent and the area is very affluent with low crime — good for someone seeking a secure, sociable retirement base.
This apartment suits a single retiree or qualifying couple wishing to downsize into a managed community with communal social spaces and on-site support. It offers convenience and peace of mind but limited living space and some updating required, which keeps the purchase price accessible.
