Designed by Churchill Living with a 5-star Home Builders Federation rating, this one-bedroom apartment in Dovehouse Lodge offers a low-maintenance, independent-living option for older buyers who want security and on-site community. The apartment has its own front door, an integrated kitchen with washer/dryer and fridge/freezer, a separate living room and a walk-in wardrobe off the hallway. A 24-hour support system, intruder alarm and video-entry add peace of mind.
Communal facilities create opportunities for social events while landscaped grounds and a balcony provide outside space without the upkeep of a house. The shower room is fitted with a low-level tray and easy-turn taps for accessibility. Overall at about 581 sq ft the apartment is well proportioned for one or occasional visits from family.
Buyers should note a few material points: crime in the area is recorded as very high, the property's tenure and council tax band are not provided, and the flat is average-sized rather than generously proportioned. The development is new build and designed for retirement-style independent living, which suits purchasers seeking low maintenance and support but may not suit those wanting full long-term seclusion or larger accommodation.
This unit will particularly suit someone seeking a secure, manageable home close to town amenities and highly rated local schools for visitors or family. Factor in the unknown tenure and local crime figures when assessing suitability and insurance costs.
