Manageable one-bedroom flat with lift, parking and on-site support for over-60s.
Third-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment (age restrictions apply)
A third-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Brook Court, a McCarthy & Stone development with lift access and communal facilities. The flat offers an entrance hall, living room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom across approximately 481 sq ft — a comfortable, manageable size for single occupancy or couples. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and on-site parking. A Development Manager and 24-hour Appello emergency system provide added security and support.
The block is aimed at older buyers (minimum age 60; couples with one over 60 and the other over 55). The current layout and interior fittings are dated and will suit a buyer happy to modernise to their own taste. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and double glazing was fitted before 2002, so there may be running-cost and upgrade considerations.
Practical ownership details: lease from 1992 with around 91 years remaining, service charge about £2,673.22 pa and ground rent £421.61 pa. Off-street parking and low local crime add convenience and peace of mind. This apartment is a straightforward, low-maintenance option for downsizers seeking community living and on-site support, provided they accept the service charges and potential refurbishment needs.
