A well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment within the McCarthy & Stone retirement development, suitable for an over-60s buyer seeking low-maintenance living close to Lincoln’s Bailgate. The lounge/diner opens to well-kept communal gardens and the practical kitchen and shower room suit everyday needs without major alteration.
Practical details are straightforward: a long lease (109 years remaining), EPC rating C and council tax in Band A. The development offers communal facilities and off-street parking may be available by application, making this a convenient, secure option for someone wanting to downsize while remaining near city amenities.
Be clear about the running costs: an annual service charge (approx. £2,640) and ground rent (approx. £440.80) apply, and the property is leasehold. These predictable costs can suit buyers who prioritise maintenance-free living but should be checked with a solicitor prior to purchase.
Location is a genuine strength — a short walk to Lincoln’s historic Bailgate, shops and cultural amenities. Notable negatives: the development records above-average local crime statistics and parking is not guaranteed (subject to separate application), which may matter for some buyers. Overall, this apartment offers straightforward, comfortable retirement accommodation with easy city access.
