A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Fairland Court offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-55s who value community and convenience. The apartment benefits from its own private terrace, easy level access, and direct proximity to the town centre, doctor's surgery and rail station — ideal for those looking to downsize without losing local amenities.
Residents have access to substantial communal facilities: a lounge, conservatory, library, well-kept gardens, guest suite and an active social programme. The development is supported by an on-site manager and a 24-hour careline, giving reassurance while preserving independence. Off-road parking behind security gates adds daytime convenience.
Be aware of running costs and some practical limitations. The annual service charge (£4,010.38) and ground rent (£410) are significant and reviewed periodically; septic tank maintenance and other shared services are covered by these charges. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which may be more expensive than gas alternatives. Crime levels in the area are reported above average — worth considering if personal security is a priority.
The apartment is chain-free and on a long lease (106 years remaining), making it straightforward to purchase but not suitable for buyers under 55. The property is well suited to downsizers seeking a secure, sociable retirement setting with outdoor space and town-centre convenience, provided they accept the service charge and electric heating setup.
