On-site amenities include a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, function room with computer, guest suite, laundry and well-kept gardens — useful for social life and visitors.
Important costs and running details are clear: the apartment is leasehold with approximately 112 years remaining, an annual service charge of £9,177.14 and ground rent of £435. The service charge is high but covers staffing, communal utilities, garden and building maintenance, insurance and onsite services; entitlement benefits may offset some personal costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters (no gas), which can affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
This apartment suits buyers seeking secure, sociable retirement living with support on-site and low exterior maintenance. It will particularly appeal to those who prioritise convenience, communal facilities and peace of mind over lower ongoing charges or independent living with private outdoor space.
