Summary - Flat 35 Horizons, 87, Churchfield Road, POOLE BH15 2FR
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled, low-maintenance home with excellent communal facilities for downsizers.
Two double bedrooms with full-width southerly balcony access
This well-presented two double-bedroom third-floor apartment sits in a premium McCarthy & Stone retirement development, designed for over-70s. A full-length southerly balcony runs the width of the apartment with access from both bedrooms and the sitting room, bathing living spaces in light and providing pleasant views over the development gardens toward Poole Park and the harbour.
The apartment feels spacious and thoughtfully laid out: a generous entrance hall, wide internal doorways, open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining area with integrated appliances, excellent built-in storage, a walk-in wardrobe to the master and high-quality fitted furniture in the second bedroom that can double as a study. Practical features include underfloor heating served by a communal gas boiler, a Nuaire heat-recovery ventilations system and a private parking bay.
Horizons offers extensive communal facilities designed for independent retirement living: on-site restaurant, communal lounge, function rooms, guest suite, wellness treatment area, laundry rooms, landscaped gardens and 24-hour duty managers. The apartment is chain free and sold with a very long lease (999 years from 2017), making ownership straightforward for downsizers seeking convenience and community.
Buyers should note the material running costs: a high service charge (£1,138.35 per month) covers most communal services, staffing and one hour of domestic assistance per week, and an annual ground rent of £515. Heating is provided via a communal scheme rather than an individual boiler. The property has one wet room (no separate bath) and the service charge makes the ongoing cost of living here substantially higher than in a typical leasehold flat.
