A bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment in the McCarthy & Stone Robert Adam Court development, designed for over-55s, offers easy central Alnwick living with communal support. French doors open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard parking, bringing light into the sitting/dining room. The apartment benefits from an on-site House Manager, lift access, residents’ lounge, laundry and an optional guest suite for visitors.
The layout includes an entrance hall with storage, a sitting/dining room with electric fire, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom with shower over bath and large airing cupboard. Storage heaters are installed and the EPC rating is C. Residents’ parking is available (rental subject to availability) with secure barrier access and well-kept communal gardens.
This is a leasehold retirement property with 110 years remaining, a modest ground rent and an annual service charge that covers water, maintenance, insurance and communal areas. The flat is chain-free and centrally located within walking distance of shops, cafés, Alnwick Playhouse and the Alnwick Garden, suiting buyers seeking a low-maintenance base in town.
Important points: the property sits within a development serving older residents and carries a relatively high annual service charge. Prospective buyers should review the service charge detail and communal rules, and confirm parking availability and any eligibility criteria for the over-55 scheme before proceeding.
