A first-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in McCarthy & Stone’s Pinetree Court, offered with a long lease and lift access. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom; room sizes are modest and the overall footprint suits a single occupant or couple looking to downsize.
The development provides clear practical benefits for older residents: on-site Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system, camera door entry (linked to residents’ TV), residents’ lounge, communal laundry and a guest suite. Mobility is assisted by lift access to all floors.
Notable running costs and local factors are important to consider. Service charge is £2,788.30 pa with ground rent £425 pa; heating is by electric storage heaters and the area records higher crime rates and pronounced deprivation measures. There is no private garden and accommodation is compact, so this is best suited to buyers prioritising convenience, support and low-maintenance living over generous internal space.
With around 107 years remaining on the lease and an asking price of £130,000, the apartment may appeal to downsizers seeking doorstep support and social facilities. However, buyers should budget for annual service charges and the electric-heating regime, and view the property to confirm condition and space meet their needs.
