Ready-to-move-in retirement living with onsite support and communal facilities.
First-floor one-bedroom, newly redecorated, 467 sq ft
A freshly redecorated one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of Dawtrey Court, ideal for someone seeking low-maintenance, community-focused living. The lounge and compact modern kitchen make efficient use of the 467 sq ft layout, while double glazing and recent decoration mean the apartment is ready to move into.
The development offers strong on-site support: a resident Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system, lift access to all floors, communal laundry, residents’ lounge, guest suite and off-street parking. The building was constructed by McCarthy & Stone in the late 1990s and is tailored to over-60s, creating a calm, sociable environment close to city amenities.
Important practical points are set out plainly: the property is leasehold with c.90 years remaining on a 125-year lease from 1991, an annual service charge of £2,602.92 and a ground rent around £431. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity (not a communal system), which can mean higher running costs compared with communal gas systems. Council tax is described as cheap and there is no flood risk.
Priced at £75,000, this apartment suits a buyer seeking a manageable, secure retirement base with communal support and easy access to local shops and transport. Buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, ground rent and potentially higher electricity heating bills when assessing affordability.
