The double bedroom features a generous walk-in wardrobe and easy access to a contemporary shower/wet room plus a separate guest cloakroom.
Designed for over-70s living, the development provides strong on-site support and sociable communal facilities: a bistro, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite and 24-hour estate management with emergency pull cords and security systems. An allocated parking space is close to the main entrance for convenience.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with approximately 994 years remaining.

The apartment offers simple flexibility: the current living/dining room was created by removing a former second bedroom wall and can be reinstated easily if a two-bedroom layout is preferred. For downsizers seeking low-maintenance, socially active retirement living close to Oakham town centre and transport links, this apartment offers convenience, safety and immediate move-in standards.
