This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment occupies a sunny west-facing position in The Windings, a purpose-built development for the over-55s. At approximately 665 sq ft, the layout is practical: open living/dining/kitchen, two good bedrooms, a large wet room and a useful storage/utility off the entrance hall. A private balcony overlooks landscaped communal gardens, and the building has lift access and off-street parking to the rear.
The development offers on-site support features: an emergency call system, access to on-site care if required, a secure entry with intercom and a staffed foyer. A combined heating and utility scheme means the cost of heating and some utilities is included in the service charge, simplifying bills. Communal facilities include a lounge, activity rooms, hairdressing/beauty facilities and landscaped seating areas, although the on-site bistro is currently closed.
Practical points for buyers: the property is leasehold with around 115 years remaining and a service charge of about £111.24 per week (above average), which covers maintenance, grounds, insurance and utilities. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, though mobile signal is excellent. The location on the Helsby/Frodsham fringe offers local shops, Tesco nearby and good road and rail links across the North West.
This apartment suits someone seeking a low-stress, supported retirement setting with modern finishes and communal amenities. Buyers should budget for the ongoing service charge and note the current limited bistro provision and slower broadband when considering lifestyle needs.
