Set beside the Grand Union Canal, this two-bedroom, leasehold apartment on the ground floor offers bright living spaces and waterside outlooks ideal for sociable retirement living. Full-height windows flood the reception room with light and frame the landscaped communal gardens and canal towpath for easy strolls. The development provides extensive on-site facilities including a table-service restaurant, homeowners' lounge, function room, guest suite and regular community activities.
Practical comforts include mobility scooter charging, lifts and full wheelchair access, a 24-hour emergency call system and one hour of domestic assistance included in the annual service charge. The layout is traditional and straightforward: a reception/dining area, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a wet-room style shower with separate bath. Electric storage heaters and double glazing are fitted throughout.
Be clear about running costs: the service charge is high at £12,952pa and there is a £510pa ground rent, which together substantially increase ongoing ownership costs. The property is leasehold with approximately 116 years remaining and is best suited to buyers seeking convenience, community and low-mobility friendly accommodation rather than those expecting minimal monthly charges or independent housekeeping.
This apartment will suit buyers looking for a secure, sociable retirement base with strong communal services and waterside setting. Viewings will best serve those who value on-site care, social facilities and easy access to local shops and public transport rather than purchasers prioritising low service costs or independent, self-managed living.
