Spacious one-bedroom retirement apartment with extensive on-site facilities and long lease.
Nearly new one-bedroom Retirement Living PLUS apartment, first floor
An almost-new, purpose-built one-bedroom Retirement Living PLUS apartment on the first floor, designed for over-70s who want independent living with on-site care and social facilities. The apartment is well appointed, bright and spacious for its type, with an L-shaped lounge-diner, fitted kitchen, walk-in wardrobe and a level-access wetroom. Built-in safety features and an emergency call system provide extra reassurance.
Communal amenities include a homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens and patio, subsidised on-site restaurant, guest suite, wellness and hairdressing suite, mobility scooter store with charging, and 24-hour staffing. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included and tailored care packages are available if needs increase.
Practical points to consider: the property runs on electric room heaters and has slower broadband speeds locally. The annual service charge is substantial (£11,313.24 for year ending 31/03/2026) and ground rent is £435 per year. The lease is extremely long (approximately 992–999 years remaining), and the build includes energy-saving features such as triple glazing and a heat recovery system.
This apartment will suit someone seeking low-exterior-maintenance living, social on-site facilities and flexible support as required. It is less suitable for buyers needing high-speed broadband or those wanting lower ongoing service costs.
