Comfortable, low-maintenance two bedroom living with extensive on-site facilities.
Walk-out balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens
This well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment sits within Elizabeth Place, a purpose-built Retirement Living PLUS development in Market Harborough. At about 751 sq ft the layout suits downsizers seeking comfortable, low-maintenance living: a living room with walk-out balcony, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe.
Residents benefit from strong on-site support and social facilities: an Estate Manager and 24-hour team, communal lounge with regular events, a bistro-style restaurant, landscaped gardens and a guest suite for visiting family. The long lease (999 years from 2019) and included communal services give security and convenience for older buyers.
Be clear on costs and heating: the annual service charge is high at £12,335.40 and there is an annual ground rent of £435. Heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas, which may affect running costs depending on usage and tariff. The property is leasehold and intended for over-70s, so suitability is restricted by age criteria.
Overall this apartment offers quiet, sociable retirement living with ready-made facilities and easy access to Market Harborough town centre. Buyers who prioritise security, community and low-maintenance accommodation will find strong appeal; those on a tight ongoing budget should factor in the substantial service charge and electric heating when calculating affordability.
