This purpose-built apartment sits in a McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living Plus development designed for residents aged 70+. The bright living room and double bedroom (approx. 612 sqft) face landscaped communal gardens and benefit from double glazing and electric underfloor heating. On-site amenities include a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, laundry, mobility scooter store with charging, and a staffed 24-hour emergency call system.
Practical comforts and safety features are built in: camera door entry, pendant alarm with bathroom call point, grab rails and non-slip wet room flooring, and one hour of domestic support included weekly. The property is part of a supportive community environment with extra care available at additional cost and an estate manager handling communal upkeep.
Buyers should note the financial and local considerations: the annual service charge is £9,554.54 (year ending 31/03/2026) and ground rent is £435 per year, with the next review in June 2028. The lease runs to 125 years from June 2013 (about 113 years remaining). Heating is electric, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes, and the area records a very high crime rate — factor this into insurance and security arrangements.
Overall, this is a low‑maintenance, ready-to-live-in apartment aimed at older buyers seeking on-site support, communal facilities and social living. It suits someone prioritising convenience, safety features and communal amenities, provided they budget for the notable service charge and consider local crime statistics.
