Located on the second floor of a modern purpose-built development, this chain-free two-bedroom retirement apartment offers secure, low-maintenance living for the over-60s. The apartment includes a light reception room, fitted kitchen, private balcony off the master bedroom, and a modern shower room. Lifeline alarm, video entry and on-site care staff provide peace of mind around the clock.
Residents benefit from comprehensive communal facilities: a furnished club lounge, hobby room, library, hairdressing and treatment suite, dining with table service, laundry, guest suite and well-kept communal gardens. The building has FTTP broadband and excellent mobile coverage, and is a short distance from Ickenham Village, shops and transport links, including Ickenham Station for multiple Underground lines.
Practical points: the lease is exceptionally long (990 years) and the EPC is a good B, but running costs are significant — a high annual service charge and an elevated ground rent are payable, with council tax above average. The communal gardens are shared rather than private, and accommodation comprises one bathroom only. This apartment suits buyers seeking supported retirement living and convenience rather than private outdoor space.
