Move-in ready one-bed with balcony, lodge manager, Careline and guest suite.
One-bedroom first-floor apartment with large balcony (approx. 650 sq ft)
Bright, first-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with a large balcony and circa 650 sq ft of living space, presented newly redecorated and chain-free. The apartment sits in Chiltern Lodge, a modern development in the heart of Princes Risborough, within easy walking distance of the High Street and a large supermarket. Residents benefit from an on-site lodge manager five days a week, a 24-hour Careline system, regular social events in the owners’ lounge, and a Guest Suite for visiting family.
Practical comforts include a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, walk-in shower with handrail, three hallway storage cupboards and off-street parking. The leasehold term is extremely long (approximately 993–999 years from 2018), and the building is newly renovated and well maintained.
Costs and limitations are stated clearly: an annual service charge of £3,362.75 and a ground rent of £822.98 (review due 2032). The development notes a higher local crime rate and some building details are listed as assumed (solid brick walls with no specified insulation; double glazing with unknown installation date). Prospective buyers should check any listed assumptions and pet permissions with management.
This apartment will suit a retiree seeking low-maintenance living, social amenities on-site, and central town convenience. It’s an attractive, move-in-ready option for downsizers who prioritise safety features, community facilities and long lease security, provided they factor in the service charge and ground rent costs.
