This spacious first-floor apartment in St George's Park offers a rare combination of period character and modern retirement living. The dual-aspect living room, high ceilings and two balconies capture southerly and westerly views over well-kept gardens and meadows, creating a bright, relaxing living space ideal for downsizers seeking comfort and outlook.
Built in 2016 within a converted Victorian manor, the apartment includes two double bedrooms (one en-suite), a separate bathroom and a generous kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances. The development is set within 250 acres of countryside and provides extensive on-site facilities — leisure complex, restaurant, concierge and social spaces — that support an active, low-maintenance lifestyle.
Practical considerations are clear and important for buyers. The property is leasehold with about 107 years remaining; annual service charges are £7,664 and ground rent is £300. A resale transfer charge applies: 20% of the profit on resale plus an assignment fee of £500 + VAT. Parking requires a permit (£365 pa); communal areas include scooter charging points.
Overall, this apartment suits retirees looking for an elegant, low-upkeep home with strong communal amenities and attractive countryside views. The material costs associated with service charges and the resale levy are significant and should be factored into long-term affordability and sale plans.
