This well-presented two-bedroom first/second-floor apartment is designed for independent retirement living plus, with on-site amenities that make daily life easier and more sociable. The bright lounge opens onto a sheltered walk-out balcony with rear garden views, and the modern kitchen includes integrated Bosch appliances. The development provides communal facilities including a bistro-style restaurant, club lounge, wellness suite, guest accommodation and landscaped gardens — useful for socialising and convenience.
Practical aspects are clear and should be considered: the property is leasehold (999 years), aimed at buyers aged 70 or over, and carries a high annual service charge (£12,704.97) plus ground rent (£510 pa). Heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity, although the building includes energy-saving measures such as double glazing, heat-recovery ventilation and photovoltaic panels.
Safety and support are strong selling points: 24-hour on-site staffing, an emergency call system, domestic assistance (one hour weekly) and an estate manager/YourLife support team with optional personal care packages from a CQC-registered provider. Parking and a separate lock-up storage cage are included.
Suitability: This apartment will suit someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home with social amenities and on-site support, but buyers should budget for the substantial service charge and note the city’s higher local crime level when assessing location and security needs.
