A bright, south-facing two-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a modern McCarthy & Stone retirement development, Elm Tree Court suits independent over-60s who value low-maintenance living and communal life. Large picture windows, a sunny lounge with a Juliet balcony and underfloor electric heating create a warm, light-filled home. The well-equipped kitchen and principal ensuite deliver practical, modern convenience.
Residents benefit from extensive communal facilities: a lounge for social events, a craft room, roof-top terrace, guest suite for visitors and an on-site House Manager during office hours. An allocated undercroft parking space and lift access make daily life easier, while the service charge covers external maintenance, gardening, cleaning, buildings insurance and communal utilities.
Buyers should note material running costs: a relatively high annual service charge (£5,038.58) and an annual ground rent (£495). Heating is electric underfloor, so energy bills should be considered, and the area records higher-than-average crime levels. The property is leasehold with a long commercial-style lease (originally granted from 2016), and purchases are restricted to those aged 60 or over.
This apartment will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a sociable, low-upkeep retirement base in Huntingdon town centre. It offers immediate move-in condition and communal support, balanced against ongoing service and running costs that prudent buyers will want to factor into their budget.
