A bright, one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor, Eleanor House offers low-maintenance living with generous communal facilities. The living room opens to a Juliet balcony, flooding the space with light, while the modern fitted kitchen includes integrated Neff appliances and underfloor heating throughout the apartment for comfort.
The development is part of a Retirement Living PLUS scheme, providing on-site support, a chef-run restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens and a dedicated Estate Management Team. An allocated off-street parking space and 24-hour CCTV add convenience and security. The 999-year lease gives long-term certainty for owners.
Buyers should note the service charge is high at £10,514.29 per year and ground rent is £435 pa; however some homeowners may offset costs through entitlements or care funding. Heating is via a community scheme, which limits individual control and may affect running costs. Purchase is subject to an age requirement of 70 years or over.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking a sociable, supported environment close to St Albans’ shops, parks and amenities. The property is largely ready to move into, with modern finishes throughout, offering a straightforward lifestyle with the option to arrange additional care as needs change.
