This bright ground-floor apartment, built in 2021, offers low-maintenance, modern living designed for later life. An open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area with integrated appliances creates a sociable heart to the home, while two bedrooms — the principal with an en suite — provide comfortable private space.
The property sits within attractive communal gardens and includes an allocated off-street parking space. Practical details suit retirement living: gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and an average-sized overall footprint of about 655 sq ft. The remaining lease is long (121 years) and council tax is described as affordable.
This home is included in the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s, which can reduce upfront cost compared with full market value. Typical Lifetime Lease prices are lower than market value (example guide price shown is £188,500 versus full market price £285,000), but the actual price depends on age, circumstances and any share purchased.
Important drawbacks to note: this is a leasehold retirement development with an annual service charge (around £1,794) and eligibility conditions for the Lifetime Lease (only for buyers aged 60+). If you do not use the Lifetime Lease, the full market price applies. Prospective buyers should verify lease, charges and all specifics with their solicitor.
