Step into a generously proportioned retirement apartment on the second floor of a well-regarded McCarthy Stone development in Shrewsbury. The layout emphasises space: an extremely large living/dining room with bay windows, a principal bedroom with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, a second double bedroom and a separate shower room. Lift access, residents’ lounge and attractive communal gardens make daily life comfortable and sociable for the over-60s.
Practical features include off-street resident parking, a utility room, and ultrafast full-fibre broadband. The long lease (near 1,000 years) provides security of tenure, and the sellers are offering an allowance covering 18 months of service charge, which reduces immediate running costs for the buyer.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold property with an above-average service charge (£4,687pa) and ground rent (£500pa). Heating is electric (room heaters), which may mean higher energy costs compared with gas-heated homes. The apartment is presented in very good order but sits within a managed development — communal rules, service charges and ongoing maintenance obligations apply.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking generous rooms and low-mobility ease (lift and single-floor living) who value communal facilities and a secure, established retirement setting. It offers a rare combination of room sizes and practical retirement amenities, balanced by the predictable costs of a managed development.
