A well-kept third-floor one-bedroom retirement flat in a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone block, ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living close to Raynes Park amenities. The lift serves every floor and the development includes a residents' lounge, landscaped communal gardens, guest suite and a full-time development manager for daily oversight.
Practical safety and support features include a 24-hour Appello emergency call system, security entry and communal fire detection. The apartment faces the communal gardens and offers comfortable, average-sized accommodation with a separate lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom—suitable for independent retirement living but with a layout and finishes that could use modest updating.
Notable running costs include a service charge of £3,378.24 and a ground rent of £395 per year; prospective buyers should budget for these ongoing fees and ask about any event or additional charges. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which may be costlier than gas alternatives and could influence energy bills.
Leasehold details are straightforward: a 125-year lease from 2005 with about 104–108 years remaining. Residency is age-restricted (minimum 60, or one partner 60 with the other 55+), so the property is tailored specifically to older buyers seeking a secure, sociable community in a very affluent SW20 neighbourhood with fast broadband and good transport links.
