A well-presented, first-floor retirement apartment in Hardy’s Court, enjoying a private balcony with pleasant views over the communal gardens. The light, airy lounge-dining room flows to the balcony; modern fitted kitchen unusually includes its own washing machine for this development. Two double bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobe) and a practical bathroom provide a comfortable layout for independent retirees.
Residents benefit from extensive communal facilities: attractive gardens, a residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite and a 24-hour emergency care-line when the house manager is off duty. The building is served by a lift and was built by McCarthy & Stone between 2007–2011, offering purpose-built retirement living close to local shops and bus stops.
Important practical points are upfront: the lease term is limited (reported as 83 years remaining) and will need renewal attention; the property is leasehold with an annual service charge around £3,596 and ground rent £460. Heating is by electric storage radiators and the main fuel is electricity, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Mobility scooter storage and car park spaces are available subject to allocation.
This apartment suits downsizers seeking a low-maintenance, social retirement setting with garden views and good local amenities. It is offered chain-free, presented in move-in condition and has an EPC rating in the B band (around 83), so it’s ready to occupy while allowing modest improvement potential.
