This one-bedroom apartment in Market House is a purpose-built retirement home for the over-70s, set within the well-kept Old Market development. The apartment offers a bright living and dining area with glazed doors opening onto a west-facing Juliet balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens — a peaceful spot for afternoon light. A separate kitchen, generous bedroom with a large walk-in wardrobe, and a modern shower room make the layout straightforward and low-maintenance.
Residents benefit from an on-site estate manager available 24/7 and optional personal care and support if required, giving both convenience and reassurance. Communal facilities include a bistro serving seasonal menus and a stylish lounge for socialising, adding to the appeal for those seeking an active retirement community. The building is new build (2022) and energy-efficient with a SAP rating up to 85.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property restricted to the over-70s and uses electric room heaters for main heating, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, which may affect high-demand internet use. There is no flood risk and the apartment comes with long lease terms (999 years), making it a secure long-term tenure for downsizers wanting a low-maintenance, community-focused home.
