A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement bungalow positioned a short walk from Congleton town centre and Astbury Mere Country Park. The property offers single-level living with a private rear garden backing onto the cricket ground, off-street residents' parking and a communal support system designed for occupiers aged 55+. The layout includes a living room, breakfast kitchen, two bedrooms (master with built-in wardrobes) and a wet room.
This is a 75% shared ownership home with a significant monthly service charge covering garden maintenance, building repairs and an emergency pull-cord alarm. The bungalow is offered with no onward chain, making it a straightforward move for a buyer who meets the age requirement.
Buyers should be aware of material drawbacks: the lease term is limited (around 72–73 years remaining), which may prevent many high-street lenders approving a mortgage. The kitchen and some internal finishes are dated and will benefit from modernization. The service charge is notable and should be factored into ongoing costs.
Suitable for an older buyer seeking low-maintenance, single-level accommodation with communal support and quick access to local shops and green space. The property has potential for upgrade investment but requires careful consideration of lease length and financing options before proceeding.
