Comfortable over-70s living with on-site care and social facilities.
Third-floor corner apartment with garden views
This third-floor corner apartment in Oakfield Court is designed for over-70s retirement living and offers generous internal space across two double bedrooms and an open-plan lounge/kitchen. Large windows at the rear provide pleasant garden views and the corner position gives extra light and a sense of space. The development includes communal facilities—residents’ lounge, bistro, guest suite, landscaped gardens and on-site estate manager—which support an active social life and day-to-day convenience.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, broadband is listed as very slow in the building, and the annual service charge (£11,073.52) plus ground rent (£510 pa) are substantial running costs to factor into your budget. There is a car parking permit scheme (subject to availability) and the lease has well over a century remaining, but purchases are restricted to buyers aged 70 or over.
The apartment suits retirees seeking ready-made community and support: the development offers a 24-hour emergency call system, half an hour of domestic assistance included in the service charge, optional extra-care packages and part-exchange options to simplify moving. If you value on-site facilities, security and sociable communal life near Urmston town centre and transport links, this property warrants a viewing. For buyers prioritising lower running costs, faster broadband or gas heating, this building may raise budget or lifestyle questions.
