This well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment sits on the second floor of Pinetree Court, a purpose-built over-60s development in Stevenage New Town Centre. The flat offers a practical layout with a lounge/diner, modern kitchen, two double bedrooms, walk-in storage and a large shower room — a straightforward, low-stairs home for downsizers who want local shops and transport on the doorstep.
Residents benefit from strong on-site support: a house manager, 24-hour careline, a communal lounge with events, guest suite (extra charge) and a laundry room included in the service charge. The building has lifts, double glazing and private residents’ parking (first-come, first-served). Travel links are particularly useful — trains to central London take around 20 minutes.
Important practical facts: the flat is leasehold with about 108 years remaining; service charges are approximately £2,579pa and ground rent around £460pa. Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. EPC rating C and Council Tax Band C.
Considerations to note: the development is in an area flagged for higher crime and local deprivation, and parking is not guaranteed. The property is best suited to buyers looking for on-site support and a town-centre location rather than those seeking long-term low-cost running expenses or extensive outdoor space.
