This well-presented two-bedroom apartment sits in a popular over-60s retirement development in Hazel Grove, offering comfortable, low-maintenance living close to local shops and regular trains to Manchester Piccadilly. The apartment provides a generous living room, kitchen off the main space, two double bedrooms with fitted mirrored wardrobes, and a practical shower room — suited to buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing storage or living space.
Residents benefit from a strong communal atmosphere with a lounge, communal kitchen, gardens, laundry room and a weekday house manager, making day-to-day life easier and more sociable. The building is contemporary (constructed 2003–2006) with double glazing and modern communal spaces. The property is chain-free and has a long lease (106 years remaining), supporting a straightforward purchase process.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with an annual service charge and ground rent (service charge approx. £3,720; ground rent £495). These communal costs cover management and on-site services but are a material ongoing expense to factor into affordability. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent and the area has very low crime.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to active retirees seeking a sociable development in a convenient location with good local amenities. It suits buyers wanting move-in-ready accommodation with communal support, while those wanting lower running costs or alternative heating should weigh the electric heating and service charge commitments.
