Secure, social living with communal facilities and guest suite.
Ground-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment, age 60+ condition
A two-bedroom ground-floor retirement apartment set within Avongrove Court, a McCarthy & Stone development designed for over-60s. The flat offers step-free access, communal gardens, off-street parking and a pleasant, naturally lit living room linked to a practical kitchen. On-site support includes a Development Manager, a 24/7 Appello emergency call system and video door entry for added peace of mind.
The development provides useful communal amenities: residents’ lounge with kitchen, communal laundry, guest suite and well-kept outdoor space — handy for socialising or welcoming family. The property is double-glazed, built c.1996–2002, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, useful for staying connected with friends and services.
Notable costs and technical details are clear: the current service charge is £5,866 pa and ground rent £844.48 pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction. These factors can affect ongoing running costs and may mean upgrading works are considered in future.
This apartment suits a downsizer or someone seeking a supported, low-stairs retirement setting with communal life and security features. Buyers should be comfortable with leasehold ownership, the level of annual service charge and electric heating; a viewing will confirm internal condition and suitability.
