Set within the landscaped grounds of Boughton Hall, this ground-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment offers low‑maintenance living within a prestigious, age‑restricted village. The Eaton building location gives direct access to communal facilities including a restaurant, extensive gardens, communal parking and 24‑hour onsite staff for added peace of mind. A private patio and a spacious lounge/dining room give pleasant living space for entertaining visitors or relaxing at home.
Internally the layout is efficient: a newly fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, main bedroom with floor‑to‑ceiling wardrobes and ensuite, second bedroom with fitted storage, plus a separate bathroom and generous built‑in storage. Carpets and blinds are included and the property has an EPC rating of C, so running costs are reasonable for its size.
Important considerations: the development sits around a Grade II listed hall which may restrict certain alterations. The lease has about 110 years remaining; the annual service charge is substantial at £8,973.12 and a ground rent of £350 applies (doubling every 25 years). On sale there are additional Deferred Development Payments (3–5% depending on length of occupancy) and a sales administration fee of 1.8% of the sale price.
This property will suit over‑55s looking to downsize to a secure, community‑focused setting with strong onsite support and generous communal grounds, provided they are comfortable with the service charge and the terms associated with the owned leasehold plot.
