A bright, second-floor one-bedroom apartment in a prestigious over-60s village, set within beautifully landscaped grounds and woodland walks. The south-easterly aspect and floor-to-ceiling bedroom window flood the living spaces with morning light; an enclosed glass-fronted balcony extends the open-plan kitchen/living area for easy indoor–outdoor moments.
Finished to a high specification with Neff integrated appliances, underfloor heating, luxury sanitaryware and full-height tiling, the apartment is designed for low-maintenance, independent living. Residents benefit from extensive communal facilities — restaurant, bar, salon, gym, library, crafts room — plus 24-hour on-site staffing and a guest suite for visitors.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold with 247 years remaining and a significant annual service charge (currently £9,835.20). The development includes Grade II* listed buildings, which may restrict alterations and could affect maintenance approaches. There is also a deferred development payment on resale (a capped percentage depending on length of occupancy).
This apartment suits someone seeking a secure, sociable retirement community with on-site support and generous shared amenities, and who accepts higher ongoing service costs in exchange for reduced day-to-day maintenance and an eventful social programme.
