This well-presented first-floor apartment in Shackleton Place offers low-maintenance retirement living with practical on-site support. The dual-aspect living room opens onto a walk-out balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, and the modern kitchen and shower room reflect relatively recent construction (2018). The master bedroom’s walk-in wardrobe adds useful storage for a downsizer.
The development is built for independent over-70s living with 24/7 staffed support, an on-site bistro, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and an estates manager — benefits that suit those who value social facilities and peace of mind. Practical extras include off-street parking, full-fibre broadband and a secure entry and emergency call system.
Buyers should note the material running costs: a high service charge (£12,731.68 pa) and an annual ground rent (£510) which are significant ongoing commitments, though the service charge covers many communal services and on-site staff. Heating is electric (room heaters), which can mean higher energy costs compared with gas-heated homes. The property is leasehold with a very long unexpired term (around 994 years).
