A well-presented top-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in a popular McCarthy & Stone development, offered chain free. The bright lounge overlooks landscaped communal gardens and benefits from a passenger lift for step-free access to the third-floor entrance. The bedroom is furnished and has built-in wardrobes; the kitchen includes appliances and practical storage. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, on-site manager and a 24-hour care-line system.
Practical running costs and tenure details are clear: leasehold with approximately 107 years remaining, annual service charge £3,453 and ground rent £460. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is double-glazed with an EPC rating B. The apartment is compact (about 377 sq ft) and arranged in a traditional layout suitable for one or two people seeking low-maintenance living.
Notable considerations: parking is limited and largely off-street with a mobility scooter charging area; the site reports a high local crime statistic which may matter to some buyers. Service charges and ground rent are significant ongoing costs and electric heating can be more costly than gas alternatives. Buyers should satisfy themselves on service charge coverage and any communal policies before committing.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a managed retirement community with social facilities and on-site support. It offers immediate occupation without chain and straightforward, low-upkeep accommodation with good communal provisions, balanced by predictable running costs and limited parking.
