Purpose-built retirement flat with on-site support and generous living space.
West-facing balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens
This smartly presented first-floor retirement apartment sits within a modern, purpose-built development with 24-hour on-site support and extensive communal facilities. A west-facing balcony overlooks well-kept communal gardens and the open-plan living area is bright and spacious, with a well-equipped fitted kitchen and integrated appliances. The principal bedroom includes an en suite shower and there is a further bedroom plus a bathroom, all on one level for easy living.
Practical running costs are clear: the current monthly charges (service and wellbeing) total approximately £796.21, with annual ground rent of £496.08 and a contingency fund contribution on sale equal to 1% of open market value per year of ownership. The lease has around 112 years remaining, and the property has an EPC rating of C and Council Tax Band D, which help predict manageable ongoing costs.
This apartment is aimed at downsizers seeking low-maintenance living with on-site care options, communal amenities (bistro, salon, lounge) and off-street parking. It is straightforward to move into and offers the reassurance of regular support while retaining independence. Note the development is in an area with above-average crime statistics, which some buyers may wish to consider.
Overall the home offers comfortable, low-effort retirement living with good internal space and helpful communal services; buyers should be comfortable with leasehold ownership, the listed service charges and the contingency contribution on sale.
