This well-proportioned two-bedroom retirement apartment sits on the second floor of Wakefield Court, a McCarthy & Stone development within an easy walk of Horsham town centre. The lift-served block offers practical communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and an on-site manager Monday–Friday, plus a 24-hour emergency call system for peace of mind.
The apartment provides a generous lounge/diner, two double bedrooms and a compact fitted kitchen with built-in appliances. Windows are sealed-unit double glazing and the property was constructed in the early 2000s, giving a modern feel and sensible room sizes across approximately 743 sq ft. The apartment is offered chain free with immediate vacant possession.
Notable running costs and responsibilities are leasehold: about 104 years remaining and a ground rent of £450 (buyers should check service/management charges and any additional lease pack fees). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs and limited control compared with gas central heating. The property is in an area with higher recorded crime levels, so consider this when assessing local security needs.
For downsizers or those seeking a low-maintenance, sociable retirement setting in central Horsham, this apartment combines convenience, communal support and tenure security. Buyers should verify lease details, service charges and confirm the condition of fittings and heating before purchase.
