Low-maintenance living with communal facilities and 24/7 support nearby shops.
Ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment with communal garden access
A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Pegasus Court, ideal for someone seeking low-maintenance retirement living close to local shops and transport. The development offers communal facilities — owners' lounge, guest suite, laundry — plus an on-site manager and 24/7 emergency call system for added peace of mind.
The apartment is an average-sized, traditionally laid-out property with double glazing and access to a communal landscaped garden and patio. Practical details include a 125-year lease from 2008 (about 107 years remaining), a service charge averaging £3,812.48, and ground rent shown as TBC — these running costs should be considered alongside the purchase price.
Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, which affects running costs and may influence décor or comfort choices. The development was built 2007–2011 and benefits from lift access to all floors, making it easy to navigate even with mobility considerations.
Be aware of local factors: the area scores as deprived with a higher-than-average crime level; however, mobile signal and broadband are reported excellent/fast, and council tax is described as affordable. The property is strictly for purchasers meeting the development’s age conditions (minimum age 60, or 60/55 for couples).
