Quiet, well-equipped one-bedroom retirement apartment on the edge of Cranleigh, set within 27 acres of established landscaped grounds. The sunny sitting room opens via French doors onto a south-facing patio and landscaped garden area, creating a bright, low-maintenance spot for morning coffee. The modern fitted kitchen comes with integral appliances and there is a double bedroom with fitted cupboards and a bathroom with a large, easy-access shower.
Elmbridge Village offers a strong on-site community and practical amenities for older buyers: a residents’ restaurant and bar, GP surgery, daily bus service, allotments, croquet and petanque lawns, and social facilities. The development includes an emergency 24-hour call system and communal activities which help residents feel secure and connected.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with an above-average annual service charge and an average ground rent. Broadband speeds are slow locally and crime statistics are above average for the area. The property was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and has timber-frame construction (assumed) with double glazing of unknown age; buyers should factor in ongoing communal maintenance and the potential need for future fabric or glazing updates.
This home suits someone looking to downsize into a social retirement community with strong onsite services and landscaped grounds, who accepts leasehold costs and modest connectivity. Viewers seeking high-speed broadband or a standalone house in a low-crime area should consider these trade-offs before viewing.
