Summary - Flat 25 Barnes Wallis Court, 28, Oyster Lane, Byfleet, WEST BYFLEET KT14 7HJ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Secure, low-maintenance retirement home with extensive communal facilities.
Two-bedroom first-floor assisted-living apartment with lift access
This first-floor, two-bedroom assisted-living apartment in Barnes Wallis Court offers secure, low-maintenance retirement living in a modern McCarthy & Stone development built in 2007. The building is arranged over three floors with lift access and 24-hour estate management, plus communal facilities including a dining room, residents’ lounge, function room, laundry, and a guest suite — helpful for visiting family.
The apartment provides practical, comfortable accommodation with double glazing, a medium-sized living room and two bedrooms suitable for downsizing couples or those seeking independent assisted living. Safety features include intruder and smoke alarms, a video door entry system and wheelchair accessibility. One hour of domestic help is included in the service charge, with additional support available to purchase.
Buyers should note the financial and maintenance facts plainly: the property is leasehold (125 years from 2007) with approximately 106 years remaining, a high annual service charge of £14,377.42 and a £510 ground rent. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, and the apartment sits in a medium flood-risk area — these are important running-cost and insurance considerations.
Overall, this apartment suits over-65s who prioritise community facilities, on-site support and a low-maintenance lifestyle. It offers convenience and security in a well-maintained development but comes with significant service charges and electric heating to factor into ongoing affordability.
