Positioned on the first floor of a popular over-55s development, this two-bedroom apartment offers light, manageable living with pleasant views over the River Kent. The spacious lounge/diner opens to a compact fitted kitchen, while both double bedrooms include built-in wardrobes — practical for downsizers seeking easy storage and comfortable layouts. Communal facilities include a lounge, laundry, overnight guest accommodation and an on-site resident manager for added reassurance.
The apartment is offered chain free on a long lease (125 years from 1988; c.108 years remaining) and benefits from off-street residents' parking subject to availability. Heating is via electric storage heaters and mains services are electric and water; the property has double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The central location places local shops, cafes and bus links within a short level walk, with scenic riverside routes into Kendal or towards the Lake District.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with age restrictions (one occupier 60+, the second 55+), and electric storage heating may result in higher running costs compared with gas. The communal parking is not guaranteed, and the wider area records above-average crime levels — factors to weigh alongside the convenience and community support on site. Overall, this apartment suits someone wanting independent retirement living close to town with communal support and low-maintenance accommodation.
