This first-floor, chain-free apartment in Home Laurel House is a rare move-in-ready option for buyers aged 60+. Recently refurbished throughout, it delivers a contemporary kitchen, new shower room, rewiring and a new boiler — so minimal immediate works are required. At about 604 sq ft the layout is open-plan and one of the largest in the development, with two double bedrooms, generous living space and useful utility and storage cupboards.
The development sits in a well-connected part of Sale with good bus routes, Brooklands Metrolink and canal-side walks nearby. Communal gardens, a residents’ lounge, laundry room and off-street parking add convenience and sociable communal space. The corner position on the first floor gives extra light and only one neighbouring flat; there is a lift for easier access.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement scheme with approximately 87–88 years remaining. Service charges are above average (£5,461.08 pa) and the annual ground rent is £546.28, which will affect ongoing costs. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which may raise energy bills compared with gas-heated homes.
Overall, this apartment suits someone seeking a quiet, low-hassle retirement home in a well-served area who values a recently renovated, ready-to-live-in property. The biggest trade-offs are the leasehold costs and electric heating; for many buyers those are offset by the convenience, size and condition on offer.
