Secure gated parking provides added convenience and peace of mind for residents and visitors.
Important practical notes: heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and the property is leasehold (995 years remaining). The area reports above-average crime compared with national figures, and council tax is moderate. These factors should be weighed alongside the apartment’s modern build quality and retirement-focused amenities.

The long lease and flexible communal support make it a low-risk purchase for someone prioritising comfort and accessibility, while the electric heating and local crime level are material considerations for budgeting and personal security planning.
