Low-maintenance living with on-site support and communal facilities.
First-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment with Juliet balcony
This well-proportioned two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone retirement development, designed for over-60s who value a low-maintenance lifestyle and communal facilities. The generous lounge with French doors to a Juliet balcony, modern kitchen and a spacious master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe provide comfortable, accessible living. A large walk-in shower and raised-height fittings help make everyday tasks easier.
Residents benefit from an onsite visiting House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, camera door entry and a homeowners lounge for socialising. Communal landscaped gardens and an available guest suite make the development welcoming for friends and family. Full fibre broadband and fast mobile signal suit those who like to stay connected.
Costs and tenure are important considerations: this is leasehold (999 years from 2016) with an annual service charge of £6,807.74 and ground rent of £495. The service charge covers most external maintenance, communal utilities and buildings insurance, but personal electricity and council tax remain payable. Note the local area records above-average crime relative to national levels, which may influence perceptions of security despite onsite systems.
Built in 2017, the apartment is modern and move-in ready, though heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system. The property suits downsizers or retirees who prioritise convenience, community and low upkeep, and who understand the ongoing service charge and ground rent commitments.
