Spacious two-bedroom retirement flat with on-site care and hotel-style facilities.
South-facing walk-out balcony with pleasant communal garden outlook
Set within the highly regarded Ellisfields Court, this first-floor two-bedroom apartment is designed for independent retirement living with hotel-style communal facilities. The apartment enjoys a south-facing walk-out balcony, generous dual-aspect living room, two double bedrooms (master with walk-in wardrobe) and a well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances. Built in 2014, the home benefits from modern construction: triple glazing, electric underfloor heating and G.fast broadband.
Ellisfields Court is a ‘retirement living plus’ development with on-site CQC-registered care staff, an estate team and 24/7 emergency call system for added peace of mind. Owners have access to a residents’ lounge, on-site restaurant, landscaped gardens, roof terrace and regular social activities; a guest suite is also available for visiting family. Practical conveniences include lift access to all floors, scooter storage and a permit parking scheme.
Buyers should note the material running costs: a high annual service charge of £12,909 (year ending 30/09/2026) and ground rent of £510 per annum. Council tax is also described as expensive. The lease has approximately 114 years remaining. The development sits in a peaceful backwater yet close to town; local crime levels are reported as high, which may influence some buyers’ assessment of the area.
This apartment suits buyers seeking an active retirement lifestyle with on-site care options and communal amenities, while accepting higher service charges in exchange for convenience, security and social facilities. The property is pet friendly and move-in ready, offering a low-maintenance base for those prioritising community and support over extensive private gardens or independent living.
