Spacious second-floor one-bedroom apartment in Kingfisher Court, designed for independent retirement living with on-site support. Apartment 51 offers a large living area, walk-in wardrobe and a south-west facing French balcony that brings natural light into the home. The building is modern (constructed 2018) and achieves a good energy performance (SAP up to 87).
The development provides tailored domestic support and personal care, a monitored emergency call system, a dedicated Estate Manager and 24-hour staffing for peace of mind. Residents benefit from an on-site chef-run bistro with seasonal menus and communal facilities aimed at social living. Shared ownership options are available (examples: 50% share at £110,000 + £253pcm rent; 75% share at £165,000 no rent).
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining: 987 years) with an average annual service charge of £3,036. Heating is by electric room heaters and the tariff is unspecified, which may affect running costs; council tax band is not provided. The local area is classified as an ageing rural neighbourhood within a city/major town and has higher-than-average area deprivation metrics — consider access to wider services and transport links when assessing suitability.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking low-maintenance, supported retirement living with communal amenities and flexible ownership. It is presented as move-in ready, but owners should budget for service charges and potentially higher electricity heating costs.
