Second-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment with walk-out balcony
This purpose-built, second-floor apartment in Scott Place offers a comfortable two-bedroom retirement home with a walk-out balcony and Juliet balcony. The layout includes a spacious living/dining room, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus an additional shower room — all in well-maintained, modern condition.
Residents benefit from on-site management, a 24/7 emergency call system, communal lounge and landscaped grounds, plus an allocated parking space. Lifelong security features include a camera entry system and lifts to all floors, helping maintain independence and social living for over-60s.
Buyers should note practical running costs: an annual service charge of £3,694.36 and ground rent of £495 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters (main fuel: electricity), and the property is leasehold (999 years from 2018). The development is in an urban setting with varied local amenities but records a very high local crime rate, which some purchasers may wish to investigate further.
At about 807 sq ft internally, this apartment suits downsizers seeking low-maintenance, community-focused living with modern finishes and clear long-lease tenure. It presents a move-in ready option with communal support and peaceful communal spaces, while purchasers should factor service charges and electric heating into ongoing costs.
