This ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment in the heart of Thame offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with excellent communal facilities. The sitting/dining room opens onto a private patio and overlooks well-kept gardens and seating areas, providing easy access to fresh air and town-centre amenities. The bedroom is larger than average and includes a walk-in wardrobe, while the kitchen and shower room are modern and practical.
Safety and convenience are strong selling points: the development provides an on-site lodge manager, a 24/7 Careline emergency system, intruder alarm, video entry and comprehensive fire detection. Heating is supplied via a community ground-source system, and the apartment benefits from an EPC rating of B and fast broadband, suited to modern living.
Buyers should note this is leasehold with a very long term (999-year lease from December 2020, c.996 years remaining) and annual service charges. The service charge covers many communal running costs but is an ongoing cost (£3,047 p/a). Ground rent is recorded at £575 p/a in the additional information. The apartment is restricted to older owners (at least one owner aged 60+), so it is aimed at the retirement market rather than general buyers.
Overall this is a well-presented retirement apartment that combines a generous bedroom, secure support systems and attractive communal gardens. It suits someone seeking a low‑maintenance, sociable retirement base close to Thame town centre, provided they are comfortable with the service charge and leasehold arrangements.
