This well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment at Balshaw Court offers comfortable, low‑maintenance living for the over‑70s. The second‑floor position is close to the lift and overlooks landscaped communal gardens, with an east-facing Juliette balcony bringing morning light into the living space. The layout includes a generous living/dining area, modern fitted kitchen, double bedroom with walk‑in wardrobe and a level‑access wetroom.
Balshaw Court is a Retirement Living PLUS development with 24‑hour on‑site staffing, an on‑site bistro serving hot meals daily, and a CQC‑registered care agency offering personal care packages. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included in the service charge, and mobility scooter charging/storage, door‑entry TV link, and emergency response systems add practical peace of mind.
Buyers should note the material running costs: the service charge is £13,080.75 per year (for the year ending 28/02/2026) and ground rent is payable (lease shows £435 yearly). Heating is electric underfloor, and the property is leasehold (999 years from 2021). Crime in the local area is reported as high — consider this when assessing security despite on‑site measures.
This apartment suits a downsizer seeking community living, on‑site support and easy access to town amenities and green space. It’s ready to move into with energy‑efficient fittings and full fibre broadband, but prospective buyers should budget for the significant service charge and ongoing ground rent.
