Top-floor, chain-free retirement apartment with lift access and underfloor heating throughout — designed for comfortable, low-effort living. The bright lounge/diner benefits from a Juliet balcony and riverside/countryside views from the communal gardens, while the modern kitchen includes integrated appliances and a separate utility area for extra convenience.
The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with a double walk-in shower; a generously sized second bedroom has access to a second shower room. Practical features include indoor charging and parking for mobility scooters, optional storage, an on-site manager and a pre-bookable guest suite for visiting family.
Communal facilities are a key draw: a hotel-style lounge with regular activities (Zumba, quizzes, film nights, choir, beauty treatments) encourages social life and wellbeing. The development sits within walking distance of Biggleswade town centre, supermarkets, medical facilities and the mainline station, supporting independent day-to-day living.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with an average ground rent of £495, broadband speeds are very slow, and local crime levels are recorded as very high. These are significant considerations for connectivity and security planning but do not affect the building’s riverside setting and strong communal amenities.
