A ground-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment set within well-kept communal gardens on the cusp of Pittville and Prestbury. The living room opens directly onto the garden, making it easy to enjoy fresh air and sunshine without steps or stairs. The layout is compact but practical, with a separate kitchen and a shower room serving both bedrooms.
Practical features include gas central heating from a combination boiler, uPVC double glazing, and included kitchen appliances. The property is offered with no onward chain and is marketed at 70% of market value under the terms of its lease, providing affordable entry into a sought-after area close to town, parks and local amenities.
Important lease and resale details affect suitability: 64 years remain on the lease, which may limit mortgage options as some lenders refuse short leases. On resale there is a charge of 1.25% of the purchase price multiplied by years lived there, payable into the site sinking fund. There is no live-in manager; a cover manager provides a daily morning call and visits two to three times weekly.
This apartment suits an over-60 buyer seeking a low-maintenance, ground-floor home with garden access and good local connections. Buyers should factor in the short lease, the resale levy, and the need for any cosmetic updates when assessing long-term value.
