This bright first-floor apartment at Sydney Court offers managed, independent retirement living with practical, on-site support. The two-bedroom layout faces west and features a glazed Juliet balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, creating a relaxed, private aspect for afternoon sun and easy social access.
Residents benefit from comprehensive communal facilities: a restaurant serving daily meals, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped terraces, wellness suite and laundry. There is 24-hour onsite management, an emergency call system, lifts to all floors, a mobility scooter store with charging points and one hour of domestic support included in the service charge. The apartment itself includes a fitted kitchen with NEFF appliances, underfloor electric heating and a fitted walk-in wardrobe to the main bedroom.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a long lease (approximately 994 years remaining) and offers environmental extras such as EV charging and full-fibre broadband. The development is designed for over-70s who want independent living with optional additional care available at extra cost.
Buyers should note the substantial annual service charge of £15,644.22 and a ground rent of £595 per year; these running costs are significant and can be partly offset by entitlement benefits for eligible purchasers but will still affect monthly affordability. Some internal areas show dated wear and could benefit from light modernisation to suit personal tastes.
