This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment at Mount Battenhall offers independent retirement living within a striking, partly listed estate. The contemporary open-plan living space opens via French doors onto a private southwest-facing patio and views across extensive communal lawns. High-gloss kitchens, luxury sanitaryware, underfloor heating and integrated appliances deliver modern, low-maintenance living.
Mount Battenhall is a purpose-built retirement community with substantial communal facilities: restaurant, bar, lounge, library, gym, salon, crafts room and landscaped grounds including a woodland walk. On-site 24-hour staffing, a concierge service and a guest suite provide reassurance and convenience. A “Try Before You Buy” option is available for prospective residents.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold (approximately 246 years remaining) and carries a substantial annual service charge (£9,835.20) covering communal services and 1½ hours’ domestic help per week. On resale, a Deferred Development Payment (sliding percentage, capped) applies to the sale price. The apartment’s location within a listed estate can add character but may restrict alterations and cause additional management complexity.
This home suits someone seeking a comfortable, sociable retirement setting with extensive on-site amenities and well-kept grounds. It is best for buyers who value convenience and community and who can budget for the higher ongoing service charge and the scheme’s resale terms.
