The layout includes a private entrance hall, dual-aspect sitting/dining room, fitted Shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances, a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a modern shower room. The accommodation is compact (approx. 447 sq ft) and designed for low-maintenance living.
The development offers retirement-focused facilities: resident House Manager, 24-hour Careline/emergency call system, residents’ lounge with social events, laundry and a guest suite. Practical positives include double glazing, electric storage heating, resident and visitor parking and a pleasant southerly aspect that gives light and tree-lined views. Mobile signal is excellent and the property sits conveniently between Hale and Altrincham with local shops and rail links close by.
Important costs and legal facts are straightforward: the property is leasehold with about 93 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,743.78 and a ground rent of £516.36. Council tax is Band D. Heating is electric (storage heaters) rather than gas; broadband speeds are average. These running costs and the lease position are material considerations for buyers.
This apartment will suit a purchaser seeking easy, social retirement living or an investor wanting a compact, well-located retirement flat. It requires no major immediate works but offers limited internal space, so it is best for a single occupant or couple comfortable with first-floor access and communal living.
