A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of a sought-after McCarthy & Stone development. The flat has been newly renovated, benefits from lift access, a resident house manager, 24-hour Careline and communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest room and well-kept gardens.
The living room faces Ecclesall church and has a walk-in storage cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and the bedroom includes fitted wardrobes; the shower room has been recently upgraded. The apartment is offered chain free with immediate vacant possession.
Practical points to note: heating is electric storage/strip style (Creda units), the property is leasehold with 105 years remaining, and service charges are above average at £5,400 pa with a ground rent of £460. Parking is available but unallocated resident/visitor spaces are provided rather than an assigned bay.
Overall this is a convenient, low-maintenance option for a over-60s buyer seeking onsite support, communal life and easy access to local shops and transport. The higher running costs related to service charges and electric heating are offset by the management and emergency care services that suit downsizers prioritising safety and convenience.
