Summary - Apartment 52 Castle View Retirement Village, Helston Lane, WINDSOR SL4 5GG
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Spacious two-bedroom with balcony and superb on-site amenities.
Purpose-built over-55s development, built 2019
This bright two-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of Castle View, a purpose-built over-55s development completed in 2019. The 878 sq ft layout offers an open-plan living area with large windows, high ceilings and a private balcony that takes in wide, elevated views including Windsor Castle from the communal Sky Lounge. Two bathrooms and built-in bedroom wardrobes make it ready for immediate occupation.
Castle View places emphasis on convenience and community: 24/7 staffed reception, an emergency call system, weekly events, a café, bistro, lounge bar and a rooftop Sky Lounge. Homeowners can buy or rent secure underground parking and choose additional tailored services (meals, laundry, cleaning or care) should needs change. The development uses a community heating scheme and benefits from very good mobile and broadband connectivity.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 244 years from 2025 (243 years remaining shown), and a ground rent of £600 p.a., which is higher than typical. There may also be a Deferred Community Fee applicable; ask for full details before committing. Council tax is above average. While the apartment is well-presented, communal service charges and optional additional services will affect running costs.
This home will suit buyers aged 55+ looking to downsize without sacrificing space, social amenities and high-spec finishes, or investors targeting a premium retirement rental market. The combination of modern construction, on-site facilities and Windsor location provides lifestyle appeal balanced by clear ongoing costs to consider.
