A top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Thackrah Court, a purpose-built Retirement Living Plus development for the over-70s. The bright lounge opens onto a private balcony with far-reaching views over well-kept communal gardens. Both bedrooms are doubles and the apartment includes two shower rooms, a sizeable entrance hall with storage, and integrated kitchen appliances.
Residents benefit from on-site facilities including a restaurant, communal lounge, guest suite, two lifts and an Estates Team offering optional care and one hour of domestic assistance weekly. There is secured gated access, visitor parking and optional resident parking by arrangement. The flat is offered chain-free with a long lease (circa 115 years remaining).
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the accommodation is leasehold with a high annual service charge and above-average council tax. The apartment is well maintained but intended for retired purchasers aged 70+, so it may suit downsizers or investors targeting that market rather than families or younger buyers.
Overall this is a comfortable, low-maintenance retirement home in a very affluent area. It offers convenience and community facilities that support independent living, but buyers should budget for the significant service charge and confirm any additional fees relating to leasehold administration.
