Designed for independent over-70s, this well-presented two-double-bedroom apartment offers comfortable, low-maintenance living within Wardington Court’s Retirement Living PLUS community. The dual-aspect master bedroom and Juliet balcony bring light into a practical layout, while a modern kitchen and wet room with grab rails suit an active but assisted lifestyle. Communal facilities — including a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and regular social events — make it easy to join in without leaving home.
Practical safety and care are central: an Estates Manager, 24-hour on-site staffing, monitored emergency call system and an on-site CQC-registered care team provide reassurance and optional personal care packages. The development is wheelchair friendly, offers a mobility scooter store with charging point, lift access to all floors and allocated domestic assistance included in the service charge.
Be aware of the running costs and local context. The service charge is high at £12,678.52 per year and ground rent is £495 p.a.; these cover the extensive communal services but will affect monthly expenditure. The property is leasehold with a long 999-year term from 2015 (990 years remaining), heated by electric underfloor systems and situated in an area with higher recorded crime and wider area deprivation — factors to weigh against the convenience and support on offer.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer prioritising community, convenience and peace of mind over private outdoor space and low service costs. It’s particularly apt for someone looking to downsize into a supported, sociable environment while retaining a generous, light-filled private apartment.
