Purpose-built over-70s apartment with on-site care and communal facilities.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment with Juliette balcony
A well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a purpose-built retirement development, finished in 2016. The dual-aspect lounge and Juliette balcony bring generous daylight and a pleasant outlook over the rear communal areas. The bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and the kitchen is fully fitted with integrated appliances.
This development offers on-site support and communal facilities designed for over-70s living: an estate manager, CQC-registered care staff, 24-hour emergency call system, residents’ lounge, restaurant and a guest suite (additional charges may apply). Off-street parking is available by permit, subject to availability.
Known drawbacks are the high annual service charge of £9,651.83 and a ground rent of £435, which together affect ongoing costs. Heating is electric underfloor, which is efficient for comfort but may lead to higher electricity bills depending on usage. Purchase is restricted to buyers aged 70 or over.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking low-maintenance retirement living with on-site support and communal amenities, who is comfortable with the service charge level and leasehold costs.
