This well-presented ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Wilton Court offers a secure, low-maintenance base within an award-winning retirement development. The dual-aspect living room and modern fitted kitchen provide comfortable, light-filled living, while the bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and an accessible bathroom with level-access showering. The development’s communal facilities — 24-hour on-site staffing, a waitress-run restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite, and mobility scooter charging — support independent living and social connection.
Practical care support is built in: one hour’s domestic assistance is included in the service charge each week, with additional personal care available from the onsite CQC-registered team. Full wheelchair accessibility, a lift to all floors and emergency call systems provide reassurance for those seeking extra peace of mind. The lease has 113 years remaining and parking is available via the development’s parking rental scheme.
Buyers should be clear about ongoing running costs. The service charge for the year to 31/03/2026 is £10,671.77 — substantial but covering most communal services, staffing and building maintenance. Ground rent is £435 per year and heating is electric (storage heaters and wall-mounted units), which can be costlier than gas alternatives. The local recorded crime level is above average, so prospective buyers may wish to review local safety data in person.
This apartment suits downsizers or retirees who prioritise on-site care, social amenities and low-maintenance living over minimal service charges. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, communal facilities and the development’s location close to Kenilworth town centre and local amenities.
