Residents have use of a homeowners’ lounge, laundry room, mobility scooter store with charging points and landscaped communal gardens — useful social and practical amenities for older buyers. The building is in an affluent area with excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds; local primary and secondary schools nearby have generally good Ofsted ratings.

Service charge is approximately £2,827.92 per year and ground rent totals £425 annually. Parking is available but not guaranteed and is subject to an annual fee (about £250). The development reports above-average local crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into security considerations.
Overall this apartment will suit a downsizer seeking a modern, secure-feeling home with communal support and low internal maintenance. It offers immediate move-in condition with some ongoing communal costs and limited parking availability — sensible for someone prioritising convenience and onsite amenities over private outdoor space.
