This one-bedroom assisted-living apartment at Linters Court offers secure, low-maintenance retirement living close to Redhill town centre. Located on the first floor near the lift, the flat is part of a modern McCarthy & Stone development with communal facilities designed for convenience: residents’ lounge, dining room, function room, laundry, guest room and on-site car parking (first-come basis). A 24-hour Estate Manager and assistant team provide support, and one hour of domestic help per week is included in the service charge.
Practical features help with independence: video door entry linked to the TV, emergency call system, wheelchair access and a battery car store. The apartment is small and suitable for a single person or a couple meeting the age restriction (one resident 60+ or one 60+ and partner over 55). The lease is long (approx. 104 years remaining from the 125-year term granted in 2005).
Buyers should weigh obvious running costs: a high service charge (£8,952.32) covers estate management, communal facilities and the included domestic help, and the ground rent is listed as TBC. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives for some households. Communal parking operates on a first-come basis rather than allocated spaces.
Overall, this apartment suits a buyer seeking secure assisted-living with social facilities and on-site support, who understands the service-charge model and the age restriction. The modest asking price reflects size and tenure type, making it a viable option for retirees prioritising community and convenience over private outdoor space.
