This purpose-built two-bedroom retirement apartment in Orchid Place offers low‑maintenance, energy-saving living designed for over‑60s. The second-floor flat (Apartment 46) is part of a modern McCarthy Stone development on Topsham Road, close to shops, eateries, the countryside and the River Exe for easy days out. Residents benefit from large landscaped communal gardens, a bright communal lounge for socialising, and a hotel-style guest suite for visitors.
Practical safety and support features include a 24/7 emergency call system and a manager onsite during office hours. The apartment is south-east facing, newly built, and comes with long leasehold security (1000 years). Pets are permitted, and the development emphasises energy efficiency and low upkeep, which suits buyers seeking a stress-free, sociable retirement lifestyle.
Considerations: this is a leasehold retirement property with communal living and shared facilities rather than a private house. Private outdoor space is limited to communal grounds rather than an individual garden. Council tax band is not specified and ongoing service/management charges (typical for retirement schemes) are not detailed here and should be confirmed. Overall, the apartment suits downsizers who prioritise convenience, community and low maintenance over private outdoor space.
