Situated within an established retirement community, the property gives level access to the clubhouse and village facilities: residents’ bar, restaurant, village shop, guest suite, 24-hour emergency call system and landscaped communal gardens. Built 2003–2006, the block has double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with an above-average service charge currently listed at £7,307 and a ground rent of £275. There is a promotional one-year free service charge offer, but ongoing running costs should be factored into monthly budgeting.

Overall, the flat presents a move-in-ready option for downsizers who value community, convenience and attractive views, balanced against typical leasehold costs.
