This first-floor, one-bedroom apartment at Kenton Lodge offers assisted-living convenience with a long 990-year lease and no onward chain. The south-facing balcony overlooks well-kept communal gardens, and the flat sits within a McCarthy & Stone development (built 2016) designed for independent over‑70s living.
Residents benefit from onsite support and communal amenities: secure entry, concierge, lift access, 24‑hour emergency pendant alarm, and a residents’ restaurant. The apartment’s layout includes a generous sitting/dining room with French doors, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a large double bedroom with walk‑in wardrobe, and a wet room — practical for later-life needs.
Important costs and context are clear: this is a leasehold retirement property with an annual service charge of £9,717.36 and ground rent of £435. The wider location shows higher local deprivation and elevated crime levels, factors buyers should weigh alongside the excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and town-centre convenience.
Overall, the flat suits downsizers or buyers seeking an established assisted‑living community with low-maintenance accommodation and strong communal facilities. It offers immediate occupation and peace of mind through onsite support, but the high service charge and local area statistics are notable ongoing considerations.
