A spacious top-floor two-bedroom retirement apartment in Castle Village, recently refurbished to a high standard and offering light, open-plan living with countryside views. The apartment includes a contemporary kitchen, two quality bathrooms (one designed as a wet-room en-suite), brand-new appliances still under warranty, and an efficient on-demand boiler.
Castle Village provides extensive onsite services tailored to later-life living: estate management, external maintenance, weekly domestic cleaning with linen service, emergency call system, 24-hour wellbeing advisors and a weekly GP surgery. The development is well located — about a mile from Berkhamsted town centre and mainline station, with easy road links to the A41, M25 and M1.
Buyers must be 55+ and subject to a resident interview. The flat is leasehold with a new 999-year lease, but note the substantial annual service charge of £8,553 which covers communal services and facilities. There is also an assignment fee on resale that increases with time (up to 20% of sale value), a material cost to factor into long-term ownership.
Practical drawbacks include slow broadband speeds despite excellent mobile signal, and council tax at Band E. Overall this is a low-crime, well-managed retirement setting for buyers seeking a turnkey, serviced property close to town amenities and countryside access, provided they accept the service cost and resale assignment terms.
