Well-equipped one-bed retirement flat with communal facilities and private parking.
Modern one-bedroom retirement flat, built 2019, c.600 sq ft
Holly Place apartment 6 is a modern one-bedroom retirement flat finished in 2019, designed for easy, low-maintenance living. The layout uses its circa 600 sq ft efficiently with a fitted kitchen, living/dining room, double bedroom and two small balconies that provide useful outdoor space. A dedicated parking space and visitor parking add everyday convenience in a busy High Street location.
The development focuses on resident wellbeing: an on-site House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, lift access, a communal lounge opening onto a landscaped terrace and a guest suite for visitors. These features suit buyers seeking social communal facilities and practical support while retaining independence.
Buyers should note material running costs: an average annual service charge of £3,766 and ground rent of £595. The tenure is leasehold (very long lease remaining at 992 years). Heating is electric via room heaters, which may affect bills and comfort compared with central systems. Broadband speeds are average and the local crime statistic is high for the area, which some purchasers may find concerning despite the secure development.
Overall, this apartment will suit over-60s who prioritise modern, manageable accommodation with onsite support and communal amenities. It is best for those who value convenience and community rather than large private gardens or extensive living space, and who have budgeted for service charges and higher running costs.
