A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the first floor of a McCarthy & Stone development, offering a comfortable, low-maintenance lifestyle close to Edenbridge town centre. The living room opens to a Juliette balcony with west-facing views over the local park and duck pond — a pleasant spot for afternoon light and watching the community go by. The fitted kitchen and modern shower room are in good order, and handy built-in storage helps make the most of the 516 sq ft layout.
The development is purpose-built for the over-60s and includes a House Manager, 24-hour emergency call system, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens and a guest suite for visitors (additional charges). Parking is by permit and available subject to allocation; a scheme fee typically applies. Superfast fibre is available and the apartment benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (125-year lease from June 2011, c.111 years remaining) with an annual service charge of £2,804.59 and ground rent of £425 (next review June 2026). Heating is by electric storage heaters. The location is convenient for local amenities including a Waitrose, medical services and leisure centre, but the wider area records above-average crime statistics, which some buyers will want to consider.
This apartment suits someone seeking a sociable retirement setting with on-site support and nearby facilities. It will appeal to downsizers who prioritise convenience and community; buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, ground rent and electric heating costs when assessing affordability.
