Set within the peaceful, landscaped Bluecoat Pond retirement development, this two-bedroom end-terrace cottage offers a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle for the over-55s. The house includes a sitting room with fireplace, separate dining room with conservatory access, fitted kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and a single bathroom upstairs. A patio garden and garage complete the plot, ideal for ease of living and light gardening.
Managed by a specialist not-for-profit retirement company, the development provides on-site estate management, a personal alarm system in each property, laundry and guest suite facilities, plus a regular minibus service. Buildings and grounds are maintained and insured centrally, so owners do not need to arrange external contractors or routine groundskeeping. There is no ground rent and the lease has about 122 years remaining.
Practical considerations are clear: the annual service charge is above average at £6,980 and council tax is described as expensive — both will materially affect running costs. Cognatum Estates charges £500 plus VAT for a leasehold pack on resale, payable by the seller. The interior retains traditional character and is well-presented but would benefit from some modernisation to suit contemporary tastes.
This cottage will suit buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing space: generous room proportions and communal facilities support independent living with added onsite support. It sits close to the Christ’s Hospital amenities and is a short drive from Horsham, giving easy access to shops, culture and nearby countryside reserves.
