A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Mere Court designed for independent retirement living, offered chain-free and overlooking communal grounds with possible river views. The development by McCarthy & Stone places you a short stroll from Tatton Park and Knutsford’s cobbled town centre, bringing cafes, shops and local amenities within easy reach. The apartment’s patio gives direct access to landscaped planting and a small outdoor space for sitting out.
Mere Court is a purpose-built retirement complex with a resident Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system, communal lounge, guest suite and laundry. The building benefits from a lift to all floors and double glazing. Accommodation is practical and arranged as open-plan living, one bedroom and a bathroom — well suited to single occupancy or a retired couple seeking low-maintenance living in an affluent area.
Notable running costs and constraints are factual: the service charge is approximately £3,203.70 pa and the ground rent is £439 pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters (not a communal fuel system), broadband speeds in the area are reported slow and local crime levels are high. Lease information is presented inconsistently in records; the property is shown as long-lease but remaining years are listed differently (figures around 86 and 108 years), so please verify exact lease length before purchase.
Overall this is a sensible downsizing option that combines central Knutsford convenience, on-site support and a small private outdoor area. Buyers should weigh the service charges, electric heating and broadband limitations against the location, amenities and the security of a managed retirement development.
