Summary - 1 CANTERBURY COURT DORKING RH4 1HH
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Purpose-built, accessible flat close to Dorking High Street with communal support.
Ground-floor, purpose-built retirement apartment with emergency pull cords
Set on the ground floor of the purpose-built Canterbury Court development, this compact two-bedroom retirement apartment offers practical, low-maintenance living a short stroll from Dorking High Street. The layout is efficiently planned with a bright sitting room, separate kitchen/breakfast area, a double bedroom and a smaller second room adaptable as a dining room or guest bedroom. Emergency pull cords, a 24-hour support system and a resident intercom provide added peace of mind.
Communal amenities are a strong feature: residents’ lounge, laundry room, rentable guest suite, lift access to all floors, CCTV and underground parking with scooter storage. Sealed-unit double glazing helps with insulation, and the building is modern in appearance, constructed around 1996–2002. The flat is compact (approx. 543 sq ft) and designed for ease of use rather than expansive living spaces.
Buyers should note this is leasehold with c.87 years remaining and principal heating is electric storage heaters (not a communal system). The footprint and communal grounds are modest; outdoor space is mainly ornamental rather than private garden. Local crime statistics are higher than average for the area, which some purchasers may wish to consider alongside the on-site security features.
This apartment suits someone downsizing who values proximity to shops, transport links and on-site support, or an investor seeking a retirement-focused let with communal facilities. Its size and heating type mean prospective buyers should factor potential running costs and future lease considerations into their decision.
