Compact, secure one-bedroom retirement flat with communal facilities and river views.
Second-floor apartment with lift access and river views
Quietly positioned on the second floor of a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone retirement development, this one-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living close to Shrewsbury town centre. A large combined living/dining room with feature fireplace and a separate fitted kitchen give practical everyday space, while built-in wardrobes and an entrance store provide sensible storage for a single occupant or couple.
Residents benefit from lift access, communal lounge, guest accommodation, on-site house manager, laundry facilities and well-kept private grounds with seating and direct views across the River Severn. The apartment includes off-street residents’ parking and double glazing for extra comfort. Sold chain-free with 105 years remaining on the lease and no ground rent or service charge to pay for the first two years.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property sits in a high flood-risk area, which may affect insurance costs and require vigilance in severe weather. The service charge is currently £3,129 per year. The apartment is well suited to downsizers seeking a secure, community-focused base with easy access to local amenities, but buyers should budget for higher running costs related to electric heating and flood-risk insurance.
