Set within Aspley Court, this third-floor retirement apartment offers independent living with onsite support and communal facilities. The building includes a development manager, a 24-hour Appello call system, lift access to all floors, communal lounge, laundry, two guest suites and established gardens — practical benefits for over-60s seeking low-maintenance living close to local amenities.
The flat is compact (approximately 611 sq ft) and arranged with an entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a single bathroom. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property has double glazing; however, buyers should note the apartment’s smaller overall size and traditional layout compared with modern open-plan homes.
Leasehold tenure remains limited at 87 years, and the annual service charge is roughly £2,600. The development provides private off-street parking, but the area records higher crime and local deprivation indices, which may concern some buyers. There is no flood risk, and the building was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
This home suits someone seeking a managed retirement setting with easy access to shops, healthcare and public transport. It presents straightforward independent-living accommodation with communal support; buyers should budget for service charges and consider lease length when assessing long-term value.
