Summary - Apartment 5 Fairthorn, 117, Townhead Road, SHEFFIELD S17 3AJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two-bedroom retirement flat with balcony, parking and strong community support.
Panoramic views over Blacka Moor from private balcony
Apartment 5 Fairthorn is a well-maintained two-double-bedroom retirement apartment with elevated, panoramic views over Blacka Moor. The bright lounge/diner opens via French doors to a private balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, offering a peaceful outlook and easy access to Dore Village amenities and the Peak District.
Internally the layout is compact and practical: a modern shaker-style kitchen with included appliances, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, an ensuite to the main bedroom and a separate bathroom. Lift access, an allocated parking space close to the entrance and comfortable communal areas (residents’ lounge, summer house) support independent, sociable living.
This is a leasehold retirement apartment offered chain free with c.108 years remaining. Prospective buyers should note the ongoing ownership costs: a relatively high service charge (c. £399.73–£420.21 pcm historical/proposed) and a substantial ground rent (£519.32 p.a.). A well-supported community on-site provides optional visiting services from MHA and organised activities.
Overall this property suits downsizers or older buyers seeking low-maintenance, secure accommodation near amenities and countryside access. The main trade-offs are the recurring service and ground rent costs typical of managed retirement developments and the leasehold tenure.
