Quiet, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement flat with private patio overlooking well-kept communal gardens. The development provides day-to-day reassurance with a House Manager on site (Mon–Fri) and a 24-hour Telecare call line, making it suitable for someone seeking independent living with support nearby.
Internally the apartment is practical and retained in good order: a generous living/dining room with patio doors, fitted kitchen, bedroom with fitted furniture arranged for a single bed (odd shape), and a shower room with a walk-in electric shower. Double glazing and electric heating are installed; the property is freehold and comes with resident and visitor parking.
Buyers should note this is a designated retirement development — purchasers must be aged 60+ and pass an independence assessment. Service charges are significant (approximately £263.91pcm, £3,166.92pa) to cover communal upkeep, concierge, buildings insurance and care-line services. The area is convenient for shops, buses and local amenities, but the neighbourhood is mixed with some local deprivation and student activity nearby.
This flat will suit a downsizer or retiree seeking low-maintenance living, on-site support and a pleasant communal courtyard. It offers straightforward, comfortable accommodation that may benefit from some cosmetic updating to reflect personal taste.
