A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment in Rowleys Court, designed for independent over-60s who value social facilities and low exterior maintenance. The flat sits on the first floor with no apartment above, offering a bright living room, a modern kitchen with built-in appliances and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. The development includes a house manager, homeowners' lounge, guest suite and landscaped gardens — useful for socialising and visitors.
Practical details suit a buyer looking for security and convenience: 24-hour emergency call systems, camera door entry, Gfast fibre broadband, and excellent mobile signal. The lease is long (about 114 years remaining) giving tenure security. There is an on-site guest suite (usually charged) and a residents' parking permit scheme (subject to availability and an annual fee).
Be clear on ongoing costs and running arrangements. The annual service charge is circa £2,532.77 (year ending 31/03/2026) and ground rent around £435, both payable in addition to utilities and council tax. Heating is by electric room heaters/Economy 7 storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. The development is in a busy area with higher local crime statistics, so buyers should consider personal security preferences.
Overall this apartment is best suited to a retired purchaser wanting a low-maintenance home with communal support and social amenities, a long lease and modern fittings. It offers straightforward move-in-ready accommodation but comes with predictable retirement-scheme costs and electric heating to budget for.
