Summary - 11 Poets Place, 11, Alderton Hill, LOUGHTON IG10 3FS
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Accessible, low-maintenance living with garden-facing patio and parking.
Ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment with allocated parking space
Quiet, ground-floor retirement living with easy access and practical comforts. This recently redecorated two-bedroom apartment sits within a McCarthy & Stone development designed for over-60s and benefits from underfloor heating, full-fibre broadband and an allocated car parking space. Twin glazed patio doors open from the living room onto a partly covered paved patio with a west-facing aspect and views over landscaped communal gardens.
The layout works well for single occupants or couples who value low-maintenance, accessible living: a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower, a second double bedroom (suitable as a study or dining room), a modern fitted kitchen, and a separate shower room. The development offers a 24-hour emergency call system, onsite House Manager (Mon–Fri 9am–3pm), communal lounge, guest suite and mobility scooter store with charging points — practical features for independent retirement living.
Be clear on ongoing costs and tenure: the property is leasehold with a long lease remaining (around 991 years) and carries an above-average annual service charge of £4,595.66 and a ground rent of £495 pa. Service charge covers many communal services (heating/electricity to communal areas, garden upkeep, emergency system, buildings insurance, House Manager), but council tax and personal utilities are extra. The development is in a very affluent area with good local amenities and low crime, but prospective buyers should factor the service charges and management hours into their decision.
