This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Roberts Court offers practical, low-maintenance living for older buyers seeking convenience and community. Set in the annexe but fully linked to the main complex, the flat benefits from pleasant views over the managed communal gardens and private off-street parking. There is no onward chain, so a quicker move is possible.
The building is purpose-built for retirement living and provides reassuring onsite support: a resident House Manager, 24-hour emergency pull cords and an external backup system, a residents’ lounge and a guest suite for visitors. A stair lift gives easy access to the first-floor entrance, with just two small steps from the landing to the front door.
Internally the flat is compact at about 519 sq ft and suited to those wanting manageable space rather than a family home. The living room is bright with a fireplace surround and garden outlook; the kitchen is small and dated, likely needing updating to meet modern tastes. Heating is by electric storage heaters and double glazing was installed before 2002.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property (approximately 88 years remaining) with ground rent and an annual service charge. These costs, along with the electric heating and the kitchen’s age, are important when assessing running costs and any renovation plans. Overall, it’s a practical, well-serviced retirement apartment in a very affluent area with good local amenities and transport links.
