A well-presented, west-facing one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of Townsend Court, a McCarthy Stone retirement development in central Rushden. The apartment offers a spacious living room with French doors to a Juliet balcony, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe — an efficient, low-maintenance layout suited to retirement living.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site communal facilities including a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, large conservatory, landscaped gardens, guest suite and 24-hour staffing with an Estates Manager. The service charge includes one hour of domestic assistance weekly, communal utilities and maintenance, offering convenience and social opportunities close to town amenities and bus routes.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold retirement property with approximately 108 years remaining, a high annual service charge (£8,041.68) and a ground rent (£748 pa). Heating is by electric storage heaters and parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. The development sits in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators, which buyers should weigh against the security measures and on-site support provided.
