Alder Court Flat 14 is a purpose-built, first-floor retirement apartment ideal for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living close to local shops and frequent bus services. The block, built by McCarthy & Stone in 2001, offers practical communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, communal laundry, guest suite and a development manager supported by a 24-hour Apello emergency response.
The apartment provides a compact but comfortable layout: entrance hall, lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two bedrooms (one with en-suite shower) and a separate bathroom. Lift access to all floors, gated parking and communal gardens with a summerhouse add convenience and sociable outdoor space.
Important practical details: the property runs on electric storage heating and individual electricity supply; the lease is long (about 101 years remaining). Annual service charge and ground rent figures are not provided and should be confirmed before offer. The local area is an active, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with good amenities, but recorded crime is above average, which may concern some buyers.
This is a straightforward, well-serviced retirement flat for over-60s who prioritise on-site support, easy access to community amenities and a manageable apartment footprint. It suits someone seeking communal living with independence, rather than a self-contained family home or major investment requiring substantial renovation.
