A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment within the McCarthy & Stone Townsend Court assisted living development, designed for over-60s who value easy living and communal support. The ground-floor position, modern kitchen and generous living room give comfortable, low-maintenance accommodation with plenty of natural light from a south/south-west aspect.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site facilities including a restaurant, residents’ lounge, conservatory, library, laundry, guest suite and landscaped communal gardens — helpful for social life without leaving the development. The apartment has PVC double glazing, slimline electric heaters and an Energy Rating of B (83), reflecting reasonable energy performance for an electric-heated home.
Important practical points are clear: this is a leasehold retirement property with about 109 years remaining and it is offered chain-free. The annual service charge is high at £7,583.36 and ground rent is £748.01 per year — both will be ongoing costs to budget for. Heating is solely electric, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas in some seasons.
The building was constructed recently (post-2007) with secure entry, Careline emergency systems and on-site staff. The local area is classified as more deprived with higher crime levels, so buyers should weigh the convenience of the location and transport links against local area conditions. Solicitor checks on lease terms, contingency fees and service charge details are strongly recommended.
