Quiet, well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment arranged on the first floor of a modern, purpose-built block in central Tenterden. The principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower, while the open-plan lounge/diner benefits from a pleasant outlook over maintained communal gardens. Practical additions such as a utility room, mobility scooter store, guest suite and an allocated garage make daily living straightforward and low-maintenance.
This apartment is aimed at retirees seeking comfort, convenience and community. Secure entry, a resident house manager and a communal lounge create a sociable, supported environment without the demands of a family home. The long lease (c. 992 years) removes common leasehold concerns and supports future resale or letting potential.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of about £2,650 and a ground rent of £504. Heating is by electric room heaters, which could mean higher energy bills compared with gas central heating. The development sits in a small-town fringe location with above-average local crime statistics — important considerations for some purchasers.
Overall, this apartment offers a comfortable, low-upkeep home for someone wanting to downsize while retaining generous room proportions, modern finishes and useful communal facilities. It is well-suited to those prioritising convenience, manageable maintenance and a supportive retirement setting.
