Secure, sociable over-55s living with communal gardens and 24-hour reception.
South-facing ground-floor retirement apartment with Juliet balcony
A bright, ground-floor retirement apartment set within well-managed communal grounds in Cookley. South-facing living space opens to a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard, and the open-plan lounge and modern fitted kitchen provide comfortable, low-maintenance living. Two double bedrooms both benefit from ensuite shower/bath facilities, offering flexible accommodation for visitors or live-in carers.
The development includes a staffed 24-hour reception, residents’ lounge with licensed bar, organised social activities and CCTV across communal areas — features that suit those seeking security and companionship. The apartment sits within four acres of Worcestershire countryside with off-street parking and established communal gardens, creating a pleasant, semi-rural setting.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with 163 years remaining and no onward chain. Service charges are £577.38 per month (about £6,928.56 annually) which cover communal services but represent a significant running cost. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so energy bills may be higher than gas-heated homes.
Overall, the apartment is well suited to over-55s wanting a social, managed environment with easy, ground-floor access and straightforward accommodation. Buyers who prioritise low-maintenance living and on-site support will find clear benefits, while those sensitive to service charges and electric heating should factor these costs in.
