1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable low-maintenance living with on-site care and social facilities.
One-bedroom first-floor apartment with additional bedroom store room
Designed for independent retirees, this well-presented first-floor one-bedroom apartment sits within Goodes Court, a McCarthy Stone Retirement Living PLUS development in central Royston. The home offers a comfortable lounge, separate kitchen, double bedroom with extra store room, and a purpose-built wet room — all in a compact 597 sq ft layout ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living.
Residents benefit from extensive communal facilities including a restaurant with on-site waitress service, homeowners' lounge, landscaped gardens, mobility scooter charging and laundry. An on-site Estates Manager and a CQC-registered YourLife care team provide 24/7 staffing, one hour of domestic assistance per week (included) and optional personal care packages, giving reassurance where extra support may be needed. One year’s service charge has been paid.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold retirement apartment with approximately 110 years remaining on the lease, an annual service charge of £9,896.15 and ground rent of £435 per year (next review June 2026). Heating is by electric storage heaters and the development’s communal areas are electrically heated and maintained — running costs such as council tax, electricity and TV are not included in the service charge. Parking is by permit subject to availability and an annual fee.
If you want a social, low-maintenance home with on-site care options and restaurant facilities in a convenient Royston location, this apartment is worth viewing. Be aware of the higher-than-average service charge and the leasehold costs when assessing overall affordability.
