Compact, low-maintenance home near village amenities and canal walks.
Purpose-built retirement development for 60+ with 24-hour Appello alarm
This one-bedroom second-floor retirement apartment offers low-maintenance living in a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone development close to Grappenhall Village. The building provides reassuring support features for over-60s: a 24-hour Appello emergency alarm, camera door entry, lift access to all floors, a residents’ lounge, laundry room and a guest suite for visiting family.
The apartment is compact and practical, with a private front door, entrance hall, lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen and bathroom. A garage and landscaped communal grounds add convenience. Local shops, healthcare, cafés, the Ship Canal and the Pennine Trail are all within easy reach, making daily life straightforward and walkable.
Notable running costs and features to consider: the current service charge is £3,122.90 per year and ground rent is £395.00. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are reported as slow — factors that may affect bills and connectivity. The lease has around 105–108 years remaining and the development may charge event fees for certain changes; check full details before committing.
Overall this is a sensible choice for a purchaser aged 60+ seeking a secure, low-maintenance apartment with communal support and good local amenities, provided you’re comfortable with the service charge level, electric heating and modest internal space.
