Private balcony with decking and communal views
Set within The Rose Garden, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment offers purpose-built retirement living with immediate peace of mind. The apartment has been newly redecorated and features a private balcony, lift access and a spacious reception hall — practical for everyday comfort and entertaining visiting family.
The development is designed for over-55s and includes extensive onsite facilities: a bistro/bar, shop, library, hair salon, communal gardens, workshop and activities rooms. Security is good with controlled entry and the scheme supports a range of care needs from active independence through to assisted living.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with 108 years remaining and sold as shared ownership (25% rent currently noted at c. £233.48 pcm). Service charges are above average at around £661.05 pcm (c. £7,926.60 pa) covering communal utilities, maintenance and management. There is also a medium flood risk and heating is via a community mains gas scheme.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking low-maintenance, amenity-rich retirement living close to Hereford city facilities. It’s been refreshed and is largely move-in ready, but buyers should factor in the ongoing service costs, shared ownership arrangements and leasehold position when assessing affordability and long-term plans.
