This one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Cwrt Bryn Coed offers safe, low-maintenance living for over-55s. The development, built by McCarthy & Stone, includes lift access, a residents’ lounge, communal gardens, a guest suite and on-site laundry — practical features for downsizers seeking independent living with support nearby.
The apartment measures approximately 546 sq ft and benefits from a medium-sized lounge with a bay window and electric fireplace. Safety and convenience are strong points: a Development Manager, 24/7 emergency Appello call system, and video entry system provide reassurance. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, and there is no flood risk.
Be clear about ongoing costs and some technical details: the lease runs for 125 years from 2000 (about 99 years remaining), the service charge is £2,597.26 pa and the ground rent is £723.84 pa. Heating is via electric storage heaters and glazing is double glazed (install date unknown); both are workable but may suit those happy with electric systems or planning modest upgrades.
This property suits a downsizer wanting communal support and low-exertion grounds maintenance, but buyers should factor service charges, ground rent and potential heating or glazing updates into affordability and future plans. Event fees may apply on purchase — check before committing.
