Practical costs and tenure are important: the property is leasehold with about 111–113 years remaining, an annual service charge of £9,896.15 and ground rent of £435 (review due June 2026). Heating is via electric storage heaters, and utility bills are not covered by the service charge. These running costs should be weighed against the considerable on-site support and included services.
For downsizers or those seeking supported independent living, this apartment combines convenience, social facilities and low immediate work required. Buyers who prioritise lower running costs or traditional heating systems should note the electric heating and above-average service charge before viewing.
