This two-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment in Poppy Court offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with services tailored for older homeowners. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright and modern, with built-in appliances and a feature electric fireplace creating a welcoming focal point. Wide hallways, good storage and mobility-friendly fittings aim to make daily life easier.
The development is part of a Retirement Living PLUS scheme with 24-hour on-site staffing, an in-house table service restaurant, landscaped communal gardens, and a homeowners’ lounge for socialising. One hour of domestic assistance is included in the annual service charge, and extra personal care packages are available from the on-site CQC‑registered agency. Mobility scooter storage and a charging point are provided.
Important cost and tenure details should be considered: the service charge is high at £14,169.33 per year (FY ending 31/03/2026), and the ground rent is £510 per annum with a review noted; lease information is recorded as around 111–114 years remaining. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and electricity is the main fuel, which can affect running costs. Purchase is conditional on meeting the development’s age requirement (70+).
Overall, this apartment suits a buyer seeking the security and community of an established retirement development, prioritising convenience and onsite support over independent, low-cost homeownership. The property will appeal to those who value social facilities and included services, but buyers should weigh the substantial ongoing service charges and electric heating costs when budgeting.
