A bright, one-bedroom retirement apartment set within the McCarthy & Stone Lowe House development, designed for residents aged 70 and over. The property benefits from a southwest-facing living room with a Juliet balcony, a double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, and a modern shower room. Residents enjoy communal facilities including a homeowners’ lounge, on-site bistro, hair/beauty salon, landscaped gardens and a guest suite.
Lowe House is staffed 24 hours with an Estates Manager and an on-site CQC-registered care team. The service package includes one hour of domestic assistance per week (additional hours available), a 24-hour emergency call system and secure entry. The long lease (999 years from January 2020) and low flood risk add security and peace of mind for buyers.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and sold via an online auction with a Buyer’s Premium (3.6% including VAT, minimum £6,600) plus a Legal Pack fee. The service charge is high at £12,128 per year and should be factored into ongoing costs. The development restricts residency to those aged 70+, and some communal services may incur additional fees (for example guest suite usually £25 per night).
