A well-appointed one-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment with a west-facing balcony and generous lounge, designed for over-70s seeking independent living with on-site support. The development offers 24-hour staffing, a CQC-registered care team, a restaurant serving three-course lunches, residents’ lounge, well-being suite, mobility scooter charging and landscaped communal gardens — conveniences that support daily life and social connection.
The apartment is practical and low-maintenance: a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, electric underfloor heating throughout, a walk-in wardrobe, a Jack-and-Jill wet room and a large storage cupboard with power. Allocated resident parking is available (current charge £250 pa) and visitor parking is provided. The property is offered chain free and benefits from a long lease.
Important practical points: service charges are high at £9,989.64 per year (approx. £832.47 pcm) but include buildings insurance and one hour’s domestic assistance weekly; additional care packages are available at extra cost. Ground rent is £435 per year. Broadband availability is limited to standard and superfast (FTTP not available), which may affect heavy internet users.
This apartment suits someone who values on-site support, communal amenities and a social setting over DIY responsibilities. It’s best for downsizers wanting comfort and convenience rather than independent households prioritising low ongoing charges or the fastest broadband.
