1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance one-bedroom retirement flat with communal facilities and 24-hour emergency support.
First-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A purpose-built first-floor retirement apartment in Kathleen Godfree Court, built by McCarthy & Stone and set within managed communal gardens. The one-bedroom layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, separate kitchen and bathroom, arranged over approximately 479 sq ft — typical for retirement living and easy to manage for downsizers.
The development is purpose-designed for over-60s and offers practical communal facilities: a residents' lounge, communal laundry, guest suite, on-site Development Manager and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system. There is lift access to all floors, pedestrian access from Queens Road and well-maintained communal grounds, making daily life straightforward and sociable.
Notable practical points to consider: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costlier than gas, and the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining from a 125-year lease starting in 1989. Event or service fees may apply (details not provided) and internal space is modest, reflecting its retirement apartment status. There are no flooding risks and local broadband and mobile signals are strong.
This apartment suits a purchaser seeking low-maintenance, secure retirement living in SW19 — close to local amenities, good transport links and highly rated schools nearby for visiting family. It offers convenience and communal support, with some trade-offs in long-term lease length and energy costs.
