A bright one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a nearly new Retirement Living PLUS development, designed for independent living over 70. The home offers a spacious lounge/diner, modern fitted kitchen, generous bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and an accessible wetroom, finished to contemporary standards and set within well-kept communal grounds.
The development provides significant support and convenience: on-site staff 24/7, a bistro-style restaurant, CQC-registered care packages if required, a guest suite for visitors and a mobility scooter charging and storage area. The property also benefits from full-fibre broadband, good mobile signal and excellent local amenities including a nearby railway station and supermarket.
Important ongoing costs and conditions are clear: the annual service charge is relatively high and domestic support is limited to one hour per week (additional help available at extra cost). The property is leasehold (long lease remaining) with an annual ground rent charge. Heating is electric with room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking to downsize into a secure, community-focused setting with optional on-site care and social facilities. It offers peace of mind, easy access to Buxton’s services and transport links, and the flexibility to increase care support as needs change.
