Summary - 30 Homestead Place, Staithe Gardens, Stalham, NORWICH NR12 9FZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal for sociable over-60s wanting low-maintenance living near the Norfolk Broads.
Sunny southwest dual-aspect lounge with plenty of natural light
Light-filled, low-maintenance living close to the Norfolk Broads. This well-presented second-floor two-bedroom property offers a sunny southwest aspect, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and an allocated parking space just outside the building. The development is purpose-built for over-60s living and includes social facilities such as a homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and landscaped gardens.
Practical on-site features include a visiting House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, camera door entry and full-fibre broadband. The long lease (999 years from 2016) and included external maintenance give security and reduce chores. The service charge covers communal utilities, gardening, external window cleaning and buildings insurance, making the monthly running of communal facilities straightforward.
Notable considerations: the annual service charge is above average at £6,807.84 and ground rent is £495 per year; these are significant ongoing costs. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The property is on the second floor, which may affect mobility despite communal support, and local recorded crime is above average. Council tax is described as cheap, and the development is pet friendly for those who wish to bring animals.
Overall this is a practical, social option for someone aged 60+ seeking a modern, low-upkeep home with long lease security and onsite support, provided the service charge and electric heating are acceptable to your budget.
