A one-bedroom retirement apartment in Kenton Lodge, purpose-built for the over-70s and set around landscaped communal gardens. The apartment opens from a living room onto a private patio with garden views, and benefits from a fitted kitchen, walk-in wardrobe and a wheelchair-accessible shower room. On-site facilities include a 24-hour estate manager and staff, residents' lounge, restaurant with table service, guest suite, mobility scooter store and a 24-hour emergency call system.
The development includes one hour of domestic support per week in the service charge, with additional care packages available at extra cost. Practical conveniences include lift access to all floors, off-street parking by permit (subject to availability), fast fibre broadband and excellent mobile signal. The long lease (999 years from 2016) gives security of tenure and the electric underfloor heating provides even warmth throughout the apartment.
Notable ongoing costs and local facts: the annual service charge is high (£10,716.53) and ground rent is £435 per year; prospective buyers should budget for these and for any extra care services they may require. The property is in a generally deprived area with higher-than-average local crime levels, which may concern some buyers despite the onsite management and alarm systems. Council tax is moderate and there is a permit parking scheme rather than guaranteed allocated parking.
