Summary - 4 CLARKE PLACE CRANLEIGH GU6 8TH
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Sociable village living with extensive grounds and on-site healthcare.
Two bedrooms with patio access to communal gardens
This well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment sits within Elmbridge Village, a managed community set in 27 acres of landscaped grounds close to Cranleigh. The layout includes a spacious living/dining room, a cream-fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hob plus appliance space, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a second bedroom with French doors to a patio, and a single bathroom. Residents benefit from on-site amenities including a restaurant, bar, GP surgery, allotments and regular social activities.
Designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living, the apartment offers double glazing, gas central heating and a downstairs entrance onto communal gardens and outdoor seating. Safety features important for older residents are in place, including a 24‑hour emergency call system and village-wide services such as a daily bus and on-site shop. The property is part of a mixed community of bungalows and apartments, with attractive walking meadow and recreational facilities on the grounds.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with a modest ground rent of £250 and council tax described as affordable. The apartment is an average overall size (approximately 688 sq ft) within a very large plot, and it has a single bathroom—important for buyers who require en-suite facilities or more living space. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and the local crime rate is above average, which may affect connectivity and security expectations.
Overall, the apartment will suit a buyer seeking a sociable, managed retirement environment with on-site healthcare and communal amenities, and who is comfortable with leasehold terms and modest space. The setting and facilities support an active lifestyle, while the practical limitations (single bathroom, slow broadband, above-average crime and leasehold costs) are clear factors to consider before viewing.
