Second-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment (age 60+ requirement)
A neatly presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Hazledine Court, recently redecorated and re‑carpeted. The layout offers a lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen and bathroom within an average-sized 590 sq ft footprint — practical and easy to maintain for someone looking to downsize. The development provides communal comforts including a residents’ lounge, guest suite, laundry, lifts and 24/7 emergency call system, plus off-street parking and well-kept communal gardens.
Practical details suit retirement living: a Development Manager on site, age-60-plus residency condition, a long lease (about 103 years remaining) and modern double glazing. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and main services are individual electric supply. The flat was built in the mid-2000s and benefits from relatively low council tax and fast broadband — useful for staying connected with family and services.
Notable costs and risks are set out plainly. Annual service charge is £3,129.10 and ground rent £385, which should be factored into running costs. The property is leasehold and aimed at purchasers aged 60+, so it is not suitable for younger households. There is a high local flooding risk in the area; buyers should obtain flood-specific insurance and independent flood-risk advice before committing.
Overall this is a comfortable, low‑maintenance retirement apartment for someone seeking community facilities and central access to Shrewsbury. It offers immediate move‑in readiness but requires buyers to accept the service charges, electric heating and the site’s flood risk when weighing suitability.
