A spacious two-bedroom, two-bath apartment (approx. 924 sqft) in a purpose-built retirement village set within extensive grounds. Built in 2006 and presented in very good condition, the flat benefits from large bay windows, easterly garden views, an upgraded Symphony kitchen with integrated appliances, and a comfortable living/dining room with a feature limestone fireplace.
Designed for later living, the development offers 24-hour concierge, on-site restaurant and bar, leisure complex with pool and gym, hair salon, activities rooms and extensive outdoor amenities including bowling green, croquet lawn and walking meadows across 250 acres. The block has lift access, space for electric buggies and an allocated garage; permit parking costs £365 per year.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold (125-year lease from Dec 2006; c.108 years remaining). Annual service charge for 2025 is £7,776 and ground rent is £300 pa (fixed for the first 25 years). On resale a transfer fee applies — 20% of the profit plus an assignment fee of £500 + VAT — which materially affects long-term sale proceeds.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking low-maintenance, community-focused living with on-site amenities and countryside access. Buyers should budget for the relatively high service charge and factor the resale transfer fee into future plans.
