This bright two-bedroom apartment in Eleanor House is designed for independent retirement living, offering a comfortable, low-maintenance home in central St Albans. The living and dining room opens to a light-filled layout, complemented by a modern fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms — one with a walk-in wardrobe. Two shower/WC spaces plus useful storage make daily living straightforward.
Residents benefit from McCarthy & Stone PLUS specification and on-site support services with flexible care options. Communal facilities include a homeowner’s lounge, TV lounge, managed restaurant, laundry, landscaped gardens and private parking, all backed by 24-hour CCTV and secure entry for peace of mind. The service package includes one hour of domestic help weekly, with extra support available if needed.
Practical details are clear: the apartment is leasehold with an unusually long lease (991 years) but a relatively high ground rent (£510). Heating is provided via a community scheme. Buyers must be at least 70 years old (exceptions for applicants with disabilities), making this best suited to older purchasers seeking convenience and community rather than a general market buy.
Positioned on London Road, the development is close to regular bus routes into St Albans city centre and local amenities. The apartment’s layout and communal services suit those who want an independent home with easy access to help, social spaces and attractive gardens.
