This first-floor retirement apartment at Smithy Croft offers comfortable, low‑maintenance living for downsizers. The flat includes two bedrooms (principal with en‑suite), a living room opening to a modern fitted kitchen, and a wet room. Lift access and communal gardens add convenience, while resident parking and on-site facilities support independent living.
The development provides strong communal amenities — a café/restaurant, large lounge, hairdresser and managed grounds — which suit residents seeking social opportunities and practical services on site. The property is offered as 75% shared ownership with no onward chain and a long lease, making it accessible without the full purchase price.
Practical considerations: heating, water and buildings insurance are included in the service charge, but the annual service charge is high. Broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the property is leasehold under a shared‑ownership arrangement, which may limit flexibility compared with full ownership.
Overall, this apartment is a sensible choice for a buyer wanting a modern, secure retirement setting with communal support and low external maintenance. It suits those prioritising on‑site facilities and convenience rather than private outdoor space or independent title.
