A second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment in Blenheim Court, a McCarthy & Stone development designed for over-60s. The block offers lift access, an on-site House Manager and a 24-hour emergency Careline, giving day-to-day reassurance and easy access to communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, communal laundry and guest suite.
The flat is a practical, average-sized retirement layout with an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the location sits in an affluent, low-crime area with nearby medical, leisure and transport amenities—convenient for independent living and occasional visitors.
The apartment is presented in a dated 1990s style and would benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary tastes; this creates clear scope to add value. Financially, the lease runs from 1997 with about 96 years remaining, but the service charge is above average and the ground rent is comparatively high—important ongoing costs to factor into the purchase decision.
Overall this is a sensible option for a purchaser seeking a secure, well-serviced retirement base in Christchurch with scope to personalise. Buyers should budget for updating the interior and allow for the notable annual service and ground rent commitments when assessing affordability.
