A bright one-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in a McCarthy & Stone development, offered with no upper chain and 112 years remaining on the lease. The layout is traditional and compact (approximately 447 sq ft), with a fitted kitchen, shower room and built-in bedroom wardrobes — a low-maintenance home suited to downsizers or those seeking community living.
The development offers strong communal amenities: house manager, communal lounge, laundry room, regular social events and communal gardens. On-site security and emergency features give added peace of mind, while nearby shops, doctors and bus routes place everyday services within easy walking distance.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by electric storage heaters, and parking bays are available on a first-come basis rather than allocated spaces. The property is leasehold (112 years remaining), with an annual service charge of about £3,190 and ground rent of approximately £425, which reflect the communal services and management in place.
Overall this is a well-presented, modern retirement flat offering independent living within a supportive community. It will particularly suit buyers looking to downsize into a secure, social development close to local amenities, provided they are comfortable with the ongoing service charge and electric heating arrangements.
