This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits within a purpose-built retirement development in Ashbourne, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The layout is practical: entrance hall, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, shower room, lounge with direct access to a small courtyard seating area and a compact kitchen. The building benefits from an on-site manager, secure entry and an EPC rating of B.
Communal facilities are a strong selling point for downsizers: a large well-kept lawned garden, residents’ parking, a communal day room with kitchenette, launderette and the option to rent a guest bedroom for visiting family. Annual service charge covers grounds maintenance, building insurance, water and a 24-hour pull-cord system — useful for peace of mind but a significant ongoing cost.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can affect running costs; the property is leasehold with around 108 years remaining and an annual ground rent of about £365. The service charge (around £3,670 yearly) is material to budget. Broadband and mobile signal are adequate for everyday use, and the town centre, shops and local health services are within easy reach.
For buyers seeking low-stairs, social communal life and a managed retirement setting, this apartment offers convenience and security. It will particularly suit someone who values outdoor communal space and easy access to local amenities, while being comfortable managing leasehold costs and electric heating.
