This well-presented one-bedroom second-floor apartment sits within Thorneycroft, a McCarthy Stone Retirement Living Plus development for over-70s. The corner position gives generous natural light to a dual-aspect living room with French doors to a Juliette balcony. The apartment has been recently redecorated with new carpets and features a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a generous double bedroom with a walk‑in wardrobe.
Residents benefit from 24-hour on-site staffing, an estate manager, a homeowners’ lounge, onsite bistro and a guest suite — useful for family visits. The building includes an emergency pull‑cord system, secure entry, communal garden maintenance and one hour’s domestic assistance per week included in the service charge. The ongoing presence of a CQC-registered care team provides added reassurance should extra support be required.
Notable running costs and practicalities are clear: the annual service charge is high (£9,875.59 for the year ending 30/06/2026) and there is an annual ground rent of £435. Heating is electric with electric underfloor heating, and parking is by allocated space subject to availability and separate fee. Broadband and mobile signals are average in the area. The lease is very long (999 years from 2017), which reduces long‑term title concerns.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking a low‑maintenance retirement setting with on-site care options and social facilities. It’s move‑in ready for someone wanting companionship, security and nearby village amenities, but buyers should budget for the substantial service charge and consider parking availability and electric heating preferences.
