Summary - 17 ROOKERY CLOSE CHORLEY PR7 2JY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Shared-ownership two-bed over-55s flat with patio and parking, close to town and transport links.
Over-55s only ground-floor apartment, ideal for downsizers
A well-presented ground-floor two-bedroom apartment designed for over-55s, set within a small, exclusive development in Chorley. The home offers a bright lounge with sliding patio doors leading to a flagged patio and small lawn — a low-maintenance outside area ideal for sitting out. The compact modern kitchen has gloss units and integrated appliances, and the accommodation includes two double bedrooms and a three-piece shower room. EPC rating C and gas central heating provide reasonable running costs.
This is offered as shared ownership (70%/30% split) with approximately 538 sq.ft of living space, an allocated off-street parking space plus visitor parking, and an outdoor storage room by the front door. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, and the development is close to supermarkets, restaurants, bus routes and Chorley town centre. Council tax is described as cheap, and the local area classification indicates an older-worker/retirement neighbourhood.
Important drawbacks to note: the lease has around 75 years remaining and is flagged as potentially problematic for mortgage lenders — some buyers may need a specialist lender or cash purchase. The property is small in overall size, and as a shared ownership home purchasers must accept the 70%/30% ownership arrangement and any associated leasehold terms. Buyers should check service charges, ground rent and any age-restriction rules for the development before committing.
This apartment will suit buyers over 55 seeking a low-maintenance, well-located retirement base or downsizer wanting convenient transport links and local amenities. It offers comfortable living with modern fittings but limited space and a shortish lease, so it will particularly suit those prepared for shared-ownership tenure or buyers able to manage mortgage constraints.
