A ground-floor retirement apartment with direct access to the communal rear garden, Merrievale Court suits an active over-60s buyer seeking convenience and low-mobility living. The flat offers two bedrooms, a sitting room, fitted kitchen and shower room across a compact 467 sq ft footprint, with lift access, resident parking and well-kept communal grounds.
The building provides several practical communal facilities — residents' lounge, laundry, guest suite and an emergency alarm system linked to a manager/call centre. The flat is double glazed with electric storage heating and carries an EPC rating of C, making it reasonably energy efficient for its age.
Important practical points: the lease has 62 years remaining, which is likely to prevent many mortgage lenders from offering loans. The annual service charge is comparatively high at £4,572, though ground rent is small (£100 p.a.). The apartment is offered with no onward chain, so a swift completion is possible.
This property will appeal to downsizers who prioritise proximity to Barnards Green amenities and Great Malvern station, easy ground-floor living and communal support facilities. Buyers should seek mortgage and legal advice about lease length and allow for ongoing service charge costs when budgeting.
