This two-bedroom retirement apartment at Norton Place in Baldock offers low‑maintenance, purpose-built living for the over‑55s. Sold under shared‑ownership with example shares from 50% to 75%, the home combines private living space with extensive communal facilities including a chef‑run bistro, communal lounge, landscaped gardens and a hotel‑style guest suite for visiting family.
The development provides 24/7 on‑site support from an Estate Manager, a wellness suite with visiting hair and nail services, and a monitored emergency call system — features that suit buyers seeking security and social opportunities. The apartment is modern (constructed 2020) and finished with integrated kitchen appliances and large floor‑to‑ceiling windows in the corner layout, delivering light and a contemporary feel.
Material considerations: this is a leasehold, shared‑ownership retirement property with a service charge (currently £442 pcm) and restrictions typical of Older Persons Shared Ownership (limited subletting, operator pet policy). Heating is electric with room heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The accommodation footprint is modest (approx. 733 sq ft) with one bathroom and no private garden; outdoor space is communal.
This apartment will suit downsizers who value on‑site care, social amenities and low‑maintenance living over a traditional private house. It also appeals to those wanting to staircase ownership gradually, but buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, shared‑ownership terms and electric heating when assessing long‑term costs.
