Designed for independent over-60s, this well‑appointed two‑bedroom apartment on the second floor combines low‑maintenance living with on‑site support. A bright living room opens to a Juliet balcony, and the modern kitchen includes integrated appliances—ideal for straightforward daily living. The master bedroom benefits from a walk‑in wardrobe and there are two contemporary shower rooms for convenience and accessibility.
Parkland Place offers communal facilities that suit social and active retirees: a residents’ lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite, and a House Manager with a 24‑hour emergency call system. The service charge covers external maintenance, communal heating and lighting, gardening and window cleaning, reducing chores and giving peace of mind—although the annual service charge is above average.
Practical details suit long‑term occupation: a long lease (around 994–999 years), superfast fibre, and mains gas boiler heating. There is no allocated parking with this apartment, and the development levies an annual ground rent. Local amenities, regular markets and good transport links place shops, leisure and countryside within easy reach.
Buyers should note material considerations: the service charge is relatively high and there is no designated parking space. Crime levels in the area are recorded as very high, which may influence personal security concerns despite on‑site management and emergency systems. Tenure is leasehold—check the latest ground rent and service charge budgeting before committing.
