Summary - Apartment 26, Brindley Lodge, 2 Hope Road M33 3FS
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Independent over-60 living steps from shops, cafes and the tram.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment with lift access and garden views
A bright, well-presented one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built over-60s development, located moments from Sale town centre and the Metrolink. Set on the second floor with lift access, the flat faces the communal gardens and benefits from a modern kitchen, walk-in shower room and double glazing throughout. Residents enjoy two sociable lounges, a wellbeing room, laundry, guest suite and regular community events — ideal for someone seeking social living with private accommodation.
Practical features include secure gated parking, an on-site House Manager, 24-hour Careline and an air source heat pump served by a community heating scheme. The building was constructed in 2013 and the apartment is offered chain-free with 111 years remaining on the lease, suitable for buyers wanting ready-to-move-in retirement accommodation close to local shops and transport.
Charges are a key consideration: the service charge is approximately £3,177.34 per year and the ground rent is £642.62 per year (review due December 2026). The property is leasehold and subject to the development’s communal rules, and second occupants must meet the age criteria (over-60 for the main resident; second resident permitted from age 55). Buyers should budget for ongoing service costs and confirm details with their solicitor.
This apartment suits an active retiree who values community facilities, convenience and low-maintenance living. It offers immediate occupation, social amenities on the doorstep and the reassurance of on-site support, balanced against the cost and conditions of managed communal living.
