A generously proportioned two-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Magdalene Court, positioned a short walk from Baldock High Street and the train station. The development offers strong communal amenities — lounge, gym, laundry, guest suite, and a fully trained estate manager — creating a secure, sociable environment for independent retirement living. The property is chain-free and benefits from gated parking and surrounding communal gardens.
The flat itself is notably spacious (approx. 1,991 sq ft overall) with large double bedrooms, a long lounge/diner with a juliet balcony, and a compact modern kitchen. Safety features include panic cords in all rooms and a 24-hour emergency call system. A newly installed instant heater (2025) has been added; heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal/central system, which may affect running costs.
This is a leasehold retirement property with 103 years remaining. The annual service charge and ground rent are significant considerations: service charge £4,210.40 and ground rent £420 per year. These cover the estate management, communal facilities and maintenance but make monthly outgoings higher than average for a flat. Prospective buyers should factor in these ongoing costs and confirm any additional fees such as leasehold packs.
For someone seeking a low-crime, well-serviced retirement setting close to shops, transport and green spaces, this apartment offers safety, community and generous living space. Buyers looking for lower service costs or a property with central heating may want to compare alternatives.
