This immaculately presented one-bedroom apartment occupies a third-floor position in Horizons, a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone retirement development for the over-70s. The well-proportioned double bedroom includes high-quality fitted furniture, a walk-in wardrobe and direct access to a balcony. The large lounge/dining area also opens onto a second balcony with pleasant views over Poole Park and beyond.
The apartment is finished to a high specification with a separate fully fitted kitchen and integrated Neff appliances, a modern wet room with built-in storage, underfloor heating served by the communal boiler and a Nuaire mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system. A sizeable store room, private parking bay (Z10) and two passenger lifts add day-to-day convenience. The building offers extensive communal amenities, on-site restaurant, 24-hour Duty Manager cover and one hour of weekly domestic assistance included in the maintenance charge.
Important costs and practical points are stated plainly: the property is leasehold with around 993 years remaining, a ground rent of £435 pa and a relatively high maintenance charge of £844.94 pcm (covers communal services, staffing, water, one hour weekly domestic help; extra care packages available at extra cost). Heating is provided via a communal scheme, which can limit individual control of some systems. The apartment is offered chain-free.
This home will suit active retirees or downsizers seeking a secure, sociable environment close to parkland and town amenities. It’s an attractive, low-effort base with generous communal facilities, but buyers should factor the ongoing service charge and communal heating arrangement into affordability calculations.
