This one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Argent Court offers a secure, low-maintenance home for over‑60s. The development, built by McCarthy & Stone, provides practical communal facilities including a residents' lounge, laundry room, guest suite and a lift to all floors. A Development Manager is available and a 24‑hour Appello emergency call system provides additional reassurance.
Inside, the flat is neutrally finished with a comfortably sized lounge/dining room, separate fitted kitchen and a double bedroom. The apartment appears fitted with electric wall heating and presents as a straightforward, move‑in option for someone wanting an easy-to-manage retirement base close to local shops and transport links.
Buyers should note the cost profile and local context: a substantial service charge (£3,058.90) and ground rent (£495) apply, and there may be additional event fees. The lease has over a century remaining (about 106 years), but the property sits in a higher-crime area by local indicators. Broadband speeds are average and the accommodation is modest in size (c. 515 sq ft). This is a practical choice for those prioritising on‑site support and communal living over large private space.
