South‑facing balcony and communal facilities for independent retirees.
Designed for over‑70s with 24‑hour staffing and House Manager
Designed exclusively for the over‑70s, this well‑proportioned first‑floor apartment at Bilberry Place offers low‑maintenance living with practical comforts. A south‑facing private balcony overlooks the cared‑for communal gardens, creating a quiet spot for morning sun and outdoor sitting.
Inside you'll find a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a spacious living/dining room with balcony access, a modern fitted kitchen and an accessible wet room with non‑slip flooring. Electric underfloor heating keeps rooms warm and the large hallway includes a walk‑in storage cupboard — straightforward, comfortable living in a compact footprint.
The development adds significant practical value: a dedicated House Manager, 24‑hour on‑site staffing and an emergency call system, communal lounge, dining room with table service, guest suite, laundry and buggy store. One hour of domestic assistance is included in the monthly service charge, making everyday tasks easier for independent residents.
Notable practical points to consider: the property is leasehold (999 years from 2017) with a service charge of £775 pcm, and heating runs on electricity which can be more expensive than gas. Parking is available but allocated spaces incur a separate small annual fee and operate on a permit/first‑come basis. The local area records higher crime levels, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision.
