Set on the second floor of Haines House, this well-proportioned two-bedroom retirement apartment offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with village-style facilities on your doorstep. The dual-aspect living/dining room with bay window brings light into the open-plan layout, while the fitted kitchen and integrated appliances keep daily chores straightforward. The main bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower, plus a second double bedroom and separate bathroom provide space for visitors or hobbies.
Haines House is designed around communal living, with a country-club style restaurant and bar, residents' lounge, village shop, guest suite and landscaped gardens. Practical features include a secure entrance, automatic doors, lift access to all floors, 24-hour emergency call system and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for staying connected with family and services.
Important practical points are the leasehold tenure, an above-average annual service charge of £7,307 and a ground rent of £275. These cover the communal facilities and maintenance but will be a regular cost to factor into your budget. The apartment was built in the mid-2000s and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, though buyers should review the lease length and service charge budget before committing.
