A bright third-floor one-bedroom apartment with a Juliette balcony, set within Marbury Court — a McCarthy Stone Retirement Living Plus development on the River Weaver Northwich Marina. The layout is traditional and well-proportioned for single occupancy or a couple, with an open-plan living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and level-access shower room. The property benefits from lift access, communal roof terrace with river views and full-fibre broadband.
Designed for assisted retirement living, Marbury Court provides an Estate Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, a homeowners’ lounge, table-service restaurant, guest suite and an included hour of domestic assistance each week. Additional personal care packages are available from the on-site CQC-registered care agency, and a part-exchange scheme is offered for qualifying buyers — useful for those downsizing.
Buyers should weigh the lifestyle conveniences against the running costs and local context. The annual service charge is high (£10,304.12 for year ending 30/09/2025) and ground rent is £435 per year. The development sits in an area with very high recorded crime and significant deprivation indices — factors to consider for personal safety and long-term resale. Leasehold with 115 years remaining (125-year lease from 2015) and off-street parking by permit.
Overall, this apartment suits older buyers seeking on-site support, social amenities and riverside convenience, provided the service charges and local area profile match their priorities.
