A compact ground-floor retirement apartment in the centre of Marple village, ideal for someone seeking low-maintenance living close to shops and transport. The one-bedroom layout includes a bright lounge opening onto a small private patio, a modern shower room and a fitted kitchen — all arranged practically across about 424 sq ft.
Set within well-kept communal gardens, the development offers resident parking, a communal lounge and lift access. The property has a long lease (approx. 103 years) and is offered with no onward chain, so it can be purchased and occupied quickly.
Practical considerations are important: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with an annual service charge and ground rent. The service charge covers communal maintenance and amenities but is a significant ongoing cost to budget for. The apartment’s compact size suits a single occupant or couple prioritising convenience over large living space.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-move-into retirement flat in a sought-after village location — a sensible choice for downsizers wanting easy access to local amenities and a friendly community environment, provided the leasehold costs and electric heating are acceptable.
