This bright, south-east facing one-bedroom apartment sits on the third floor of Oakfield Court, a purpose-built retirement living plus development close to Urmston town centre and approximately 350 yards from the train station. The living room’s French doors open to a Juliet balcony with park views; the apartment includes a fitted kitchen, walk-in wardrobe and wet-room style shower for easier daily living.
Oakfield Court offers on-site support and communal facilities aimed at independent retirement living: a bistro restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite and an Estate Manager with 24-hour emergency call system. One year’s service charge has been paid for the incoming purchaser, and part-exchange options and extra care packages are available for those who need them.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (approximately 116 years remaining) with an annual service charge of £8,286.10 and ground rent of £435 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters and broadband is reported as very slow—factors that will affect running costs and connectivity needs. Car parking is by permit (subject to availability, currently £250 pa).
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a managed, social retirement community with convenient local amenities and transport links. It offers comfort and on-site support but carries above-average communal costs and relies on electric heating and limited broadband speeds.
