Bright, modern and built in 2024, this one-bedroom second-floor apartment at Elmhirst Lodge offers low-maintenance living designed for over-60s. The living room opens to a westerly-facing Juliet balcony, and the kitchen includes integrated appliances. A built-in wardrobe, walk-in shower with grab rail and a hallway storage cupboard add everyday convenience.
The development is purpose-built for retirement living: a Lodge Manager is on-site five days a week, a 24-hour Careline system provides emergency monitoring, and communal facilities include an Owners’ Lounge with coffee bar, landscaped gardens, buggy storage, lift access and resident parking. A guest suite is available for visitors, with reciprocal access to guest suites at other Churchill Living developments.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with a very long 999-year lease and a service charge of £2,983.65 per year covering heating, buildings insurance, communal maintenance and manager services. Heating is electric room heaters and the apartment is powered by electricity on an unspecified tariff. The local area is a small town fringe with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, but crime indicators in the dataset are high — consider local checks if this is a priority.
This home suits a buyer seeking modern, secure retirement accommodation close to Totnes High Street amenities and transport links. It offers easy-access living and social opportunities through communal spaces, while also requiring the usual consideration of leasehold commitments and service charges.
