Comfortable one-bedroom first-floor apartment in the well-regarded Lynwood retirement development, a short walk from Wilmslow town centre. The compact 404 sq ft layout works well for a single downsizer seeking low-maintenance living with communal facilities and pleasant gardens. An on-site house manager, guest suite, laundry room and visitor parking add practical convenience.
The apartment is well presented with a modern fitted kitchen, recently refitted shower room and newly installed windows. A spacious entrance hall with large fitted storage and a good-sized double bedroom help the internal layout feel roomy for its size. Recent wall-mounted electric heating and double glazing improve comfort, though main heating is electric storage heaters.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with 83 years remaining and an annual service charge of about £3,216 plus a small ground rent (£67). There may be a charge payable to the management company on resale of a retirement apartment — buyers should verify these costs with solicitors before committing.
Overall this apartment suits an over-60s buyer seeking a town-centre location with on-site support and communal amenities. It’s an economical, low-upkeep base for someone prioritising convenience and local services, but purchasers should budget for service charges and consider long-term heating costs from electric storage heaters.
