A purpose-built, chain-free one-bedroom apartment within a McCarthy & Stone development built in 2014, designed exclusively for the over-60s. The second-floor home benefits from lift access, underfloor heating, double glazing and a generous lounge/diner opening onto a well-kept communal garden. The apartment includes a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a large bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and an accessible shower room with pull-down seat.
Communal facilities suit independent retired living: a residents' lounge, on-site house manager, 24-hour emergency call system and guest suite for visitors. The block sits close to local amenities, a regular bus stop and larger stores; Dover town centre and the mainline station are a short drive away. Energy performance is good (EPC C, 80) and council tax is low (Band A).
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with approximately 111 years remaining, a ground rent of £425 pa and an annual service charge of £4,123.68 (covers heating in apartments, building insurance, maintenance and the house manager). Parking spaces are available to purchase, and the guest suite is chargeable. These running costs are important for budgeting and should be checked by your solicitor before proceeding.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking low-stairs living, communal support and easy local access rather than someone after a large private garden or low-cost ownership. The accommodation is well-presented and ready to move into, offering straightforward retirement living with a degree of communal responsibility due to service charges.
