Compact, low-maintenance living with communal support and parking for over 60s.
First-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, approx. 470 sq ft
This one-bedroom retirement apartment sits on the first floor of Woodmere Court, a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development with lift access and on-site management. The building offers communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, guest room, laundry, landscaped communal grounds and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system.
The flat provides an entrance hall, lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen, one bedroom and bathroom within around 470 sq ft of accommodation — compact and manageable for independent living. Double glazing is present (installed before 2002) and the property benefits from residents’ parking and a paved front approach with mature planting.
The Home for Life Lifetime Lease through Homewise allows over-60s to buy a share of the property (up to 50%) at a reduced upfront price; a guide Lifetime Lease price is shown at £105,000 versus the full market value of £150,000. Actual price depends on age and personal circumstances and purchase is subject to property/lease review.
Be aware of several practical points: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, glazing is older double glazing, and lease details vary on listings (either 125 years from 1991 or about 90 years). Event/service fees may apply in the development and the local area is classified as relatively deprived. The apartment is age-restricted: single buyers must be 60+, couples typically 60+ and 55+.
