Summary - Apartment 18 Castle View Retirement Village, Helston Lane SL4 5GG
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Comfortable over-55s apartment with social facilities and secure parking.
East-facing wraparound balcony with Windsor Castle views
This well-appointed two-bedroom apartment sits in Castle View, an over-55s development a short, level walk from Windsor town centre. The apartment faces east, offering direct Windsor Castle views and dramatic sunrises from a generous wraparound balcony. With open-plan living and two double bedrooms, it suits couples seeking comfort, social amenities and low-exertion living.
The building is modern and energy-conscious: triple glazing and an EPC B rating help with running costs, and a community heating scheme provides centralised warmth. Secure underground parking (lift access) and optional adjacent storage add convenience. On-site facilities include a rooftop bar, restaurant, library and a busy social calendar for residents.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with 242 years remaining. Service charges are high at £8,350 per year and ground rent is £550, so factor these into ongoing affordability. Council tax sits in band E. The flat’s size is around 638 sq ft—comfortable but not large—so it’s best for those prioritising location, views and communal facilities over expansive living space.
Overall this apartment offers a low-maintenance, sociable retirement lifestyle with strong location and build-quality benefits, balanced by material running costs that materially affect monthly outgoings.
