This fourth-floor retirement apartment in Pembroke Court offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-50s. The McCarthy & Stone development includes lifts, a residents' lounge, guest suite, CCTV and a 24-hour Appello emergency call system, supported by an on-site Development Manager.
The two-bedroom flat is modest in size (approx. 589 sq ft) and presented with older finishes — carpets, dated wallpaper and a fitted kitchen — so it will suit someone wanting a ready-to-live-in home or a buyer willing to modernise. Heating is by electric storage heaters; glazing is double but installation date is not known.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold with 91 years remaining on a 125-year lease from 1992, and a minimum resident age of 50 applies. Event or service fees may apply to communal services and should be clarified before purchase.
Be aware of local context: the area has high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. The flat’s outlook is primarily over the internal courtyard/parking and nearby buildings rather than open views.
