This well-placed ground-floor retirement apartment at St Georges Court offers comfortable, low-maintenance living with immediate access to pleasant communal gardens and a private patio. The dual-aspect living room brings good natural light and opens directly onto the outdoor space, helping the flat feel larger than its footprint. Two bedrooms and a modern shower room suit couples or friends who want room for visitors or a hobby space.
Residents benefit from a strong support package: a 24-hour Careline response, pull cords, an onsite House Manager, a communal lounge, conservatory, guest suite and laundry — useful practical extras for peace of mind. The flat is chain free and close to Ferndown town centre, shops, medical facilities and regular bus routes, which is convenient for everyday errands and social activities.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement scheme with a remaining lease term of around 101 years, a comparatively high service charge (approx. £4,796.74 pa) and an annual ground rent of £922. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the interior shows a traditional style that would benefit from some modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. These running costs and potential update work are important to factor into affordability and long-term plans.
Overall, the apartment is suited to downsizers or retirees seeking a secure, sociable community base with on-site support and easy access to local amenities, provided they are comfortable with the leasehold costs and occasional refurbishment needs.
