Summary - 15, NORTON PLACE, ICKNIELD WAY SG7 5FH
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Spacious two-bedroom Retirement Living PLUS apartment with 24/7 on-site care and restaurant.
Dual-aspect lounge with Juliet balcony and open-plan kitchen
Designed for comfortable, low-maintenance retirement living, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment sits within Norton Place — a purpose-built McCarthy Stone Retirement Living PLUS development. The apartment offers a dual-aspect lounge with a Juliet balcony, an open-plan modern kitchen, a generous principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and a level-access wet room, all finished to a contemporary standard and built in 2020.
The development adds practical reassurance: 24/7 on-site staffing and a CQC-registered care team, an on-site bistro restaurant, communal lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite and regular social activities. Practical features include full-fibre broadband, secure entry, monitored fire systems and allocated domestic assistance (one hour per week included; extra hours available).
Important considerations: the property is leasehold (long 999-year lease) and the annual service charge is high at £12,213.25 — this covers staffing, communal services and the restaurant but will be a significant ongoing cost. Heating is electric room heaters, so energy bills could be higher than gas-heated homes. Council Tax and personal utilities are additional.
This apartment will suit those seeking a sociable, supported retirement base close to Baldock’s town centre and nature reserve: ideal for downsizers who prioritise on-site care, community and convenience over owning a large, self-managed home.
