A well-presented first-floor apartment in Sence House, offered at 90% shared ownership, combines modern finishes with extensive on-site amenities designed for retirement living. The apartment has been newly renovated and benefits from a generous bedroom, open-plan living/kitchen, utility/store and a Juliette balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens and the River Welland. Underground parking and visitor spaces add convenience for owners and guests.
Sence House provides a wide range of communal facilities including a pool, restaurant, bar, gym, library, craft rooms, hair salon and regular social activities, plus a 24-hour wellbeing service and optional care or domestic services. The development’s location is within easy walking distance of Market Harborough town centre and the train station, making shopping and travel straightforward.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold, 90% shared ownership sale with a remaining 10% owned by MHA (monthly rent on that 10% currently £120.42). The lease has 111 years remaining. Ongoing costs are significant: combined service and wellbeing charges total approximately £833.38 per calendar month, plus an annual ground rent of £181.68. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which could affect running costs.
This apartment suits someone seeking low-maintenance, sociable retirement living with on-site support and facilities, and who is comfortable with leasehold/shared ownership arrangements and higher communal charges. The newly renovated interior and energy-efficient rating enhance appeal, but prospective buyers should budget for service charges and electric heating costs.
