Comfortable one-bedroom for active retirees near green spaces.
McCarthy & Stone retirement development with resident manager and lift
This one-bedroom, second-floor retirement apartment in Pettifor Court offers low-maintenance living for downsizers who want safety and community. Built by McCarthy & Stone between 2007–2011, the development includes a resident manager, lift access, a 24-hour Appello emergency system and communal facilities such as a residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest suite, gardens and off-street parking.
The flat is neutrally presented with a separate modern kitchen, double-glazed windows and an open lounge. The layout suits someone who wants a compact, comfortable home close to local amenities in Anstey and enjoys easy access to communal spaces and occasional visitors using the guest suite.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold with approximately 106 years remaining. Service charge runs at £3,623.26 per year and ground rent is £425 annually; buyers should factor these ongoing costs and possible event fees into their budget. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas in winter.
Overall this is a well-managed retirement option for someone seeking a secure, sociable setting with low gardening responsibility and good local connections. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising convenience, community and mobility support, while those concerned about fixed service charges or electric heating costs should check running-cost details before committing.
