This one-bedroom apartment at Glenhills Court offers age-exclusive retirement living beside the Grand Union Canal, with a private balcony and a spacious living room for relaxed days at home. The building provides practical on-site amenities — a restaurant, guest suite, landscaped gardens and communal lounge — that support an independent, sociable lifestyle.
The development includes 24-hour staffing, an emergency call system, lifts to all floors and full wheelchair access, plus a mobility scooter charging point and allocated domestic assistance (one hour per week included). The apartment has double glazing, fitted kitchen and a shower room with level-access features, making it straightforward and low-effort to maintain.
Important costs and maintenance: the service charge is high at £10,030.76 per year and there is an annual ground rent of £435. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Parking is by permit (subject to availability) at around £250 per year.
The lease is long (around 115–117 years remaining) and the property is for buyers aged 70 or over. For a downsizer seeking security, community and ready-made support on a pleasant canal-side site, this apartment offers convenience and peace of mind — but budget carefully for the significant service charge and electric heating costs.
