This bright two-bedroom first-floor apartment occupies a modern McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living PLUS development designed for over-70s who want independent living with on-site care available. The layout is contemporary and wheelchair-friendly, with a fitted kitchen, level-access wet room and a spacious lounge/dining area that benefits from good natural light. A dedicated car parking space is included and ultrafast full-fibre broadband is available.
The development offers 24-hour on-site staffing, a bistro-style restaurant, guest suite (fees apply) and a registered care agency able to provide personal care packages. Practical features include an intruder alarm, TV-linked door entry, mobility scooter charging/storage and one hour per week of domestic assistance included in the service charge.
Important considerations: this is an Older Persons Shared Ownership leasehold home (shared ownership terms apply) and the annual service charge is high at £11,457.08 (year to 28/02/2026). Heating is by electric room heaters, and the property sits in an area recorded as having above-average crime. Buyers must meet the age requirement (70+).
For downsizers seeking convenience and peace of mind, the apartment gives immediate access to on-site support, social facilities and nearby shops and transport. The property is nearly new (constructed 2022) with a very long lease (c.995–999 years) and presents a low-maintenance option compared with traditional houses, though the service charge level and shared-ownership model are key financial factors to weigh.
