A rare two-double-bedroom apartment in Homewelland House, a well-regarded over-55s development just outside Market Harborough town centre. Set on the second floor (lift access available), the flat is neutrally presented throughout and overlooks well-kept communal gardens, offering a peaceful outlook and easy access to local shops, services and transport.
The layout includes an entrance hall with store, an average-sized lounge/diner, compact fitted kitchen, shower room and two double bedrooms — a useful plan for visitors or a carer. The building provides practical communal facilities: residents’ lounge and kitchen, laundry room, guest bedroom suite and communal parking. The lease has 121 years remaining and the sale is chain-free, simplifying purchase.
Buyers should note the ownership costs: a bi-annual service charge totalling £5,840 per year and a ground rent of £547.72 annually. Heating is by electric heaters and room heaters rather than gas central heating. The development was built in the 1980s and the property is best suited to someone seeking low-stairs, low-maintenance retirement accommodation rather than a major renovation project.
Overall this flat will suit downsizers or retirees who prioritise communal facilities, garden outlook and a central town location. It offers straightforward, ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear running costs and long lease security, but budget consideration should be given to the ongoing service charge, ground rent and electric heating.
