A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Castle Court offers independent living within a secure, purpose-built development. The building provides 24-hour estate manager cover, communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, restaurant and landscaped gardens, plus lifts and a guest suite for visitors.
Practical features include one hour of domestic assistance per week (included in the service charge), an emergency call system, intruder and smoke alarms, wheelchair access and an on-site battery car store. The apartment opens onto a private patio garden from the living room, creating a pleasant, low-maintenance outdoor space.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of £10,577.80 and ground rent of £405.00. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The lease has about 105–106 years remaining (125 years from 2006), appropriate for long-term ownership but worth checking for finance or resale considerations.
This home suits those seeking a sociable, supported retirement lifestyle with communal amenities and regular assistance included. It is in a very affluent area with good broadband and convenient local services, but purchasers should budget for the substantial service charge and electric heating costs.
