Well-presented, low-maintenance retirement flat with lift and gardens in central Wilmslow.
Second-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment, approx. 416 sq ft
A well-presented second-floor retirement apartment in the heart of Wilmslow, ideal for over-60s seeking a low-maintenance, centrally positioned home. The layout includes a spacious open-plan lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom with wardrobe and a modern walk-in shower — all arranged over approximately 416 sq ft. Lift access, an on-site manager, emergency pull cords and secure entry provide practical support and peace of mind for residents.
Communal facilities are a genuine selling point: an inviting residents’ lounge, immaculate landscaped gardens and organised communal upkeep reduce day-to-day maintenance. The location is highly convenient — short walks to local shops, medical services and public transport — making errands and social activities straightforward without needing a car.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with around 85 years remaining. The current service charge is £804.06 per quarter (approx. £3,216 per year) and ground rent is £70 per year. There may be a fee payable to the management company on sale; prospective purchasers should seek solicitor verification of all charges and any resale provisions.
Heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity rather than a communal system, which can affect running costs. The apartment is compact, best suited to a single person or couple downsizing who prioritise location, communal support and low-exertion living over expansive internal space.
