A purpose-built McCarthy & Stone retirement apartment on the third floor, designed for over-60s living with lift access, a communal lounge and a 24-hour emergency call system. The two-bedroom layout includes an entrance hallway with utility cupboard, a lounge with French doors to a Juliette balcony, an adjoining kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms and an en-suite to the principal. Practical features include double glazing and electric room heating, with a dedicated house manager during office hours.
This apartment offers convenience in the heart of Ottery St Mary, within easy reach of independent shops, medical services and local transport links. The block also provides an outside terrace, guest suite for visitors and camera entry, making it well suited for those who value social spaces and on-site support. The long lease (999 years from 2019) provides security of tenure.
Buyers should note material factors: the property is leasehold with an above-average service charge (£5,296.16 pa) and a ground rent of £495 pa. Heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, and the location is in a high flooding risk area; appropriate insurance and flood precautions will be needed. Internal viewing is recommended to assess condition and suitability for individual needs.
Overall, this is a well-specified retirement apartment offering convenience, community facilities and long-term tenure — a good choice for downsizers seeking low-maintenance town-fringe living, provided the service charge and flood risk are acceptable.
