Designed specifically for the over-60s, this ground-floor retirement apartment in Maple Tree Court offers practical, low-maintenance living with immediate occupancy. The recently renovated one-bedroom layout includes a 17' sitting/dining room with French doors opening onto a private patio, creating a bright, accessible space for relaxing and entertaining. The double bedroom has a built-in mirrored wardrobe and pleasant views toward St. George’s Church.
The development emphasises communal support and security: gated access, an on-site manager, emergency call system, residents’ lounge, laundry facilities, guest suite and lift access. Resident parking is available on-site and the lease has 108 years remaining; the property is offered chain-free, simplifying purchase for downsizers.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity (not communal), which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. Service charge and ground rent are notable: about £3,650pa service charge and £425pa ground rent. Broadband speeds are slow locally, and the area records above-average crime levels — important for buyers to verify personally.
Overall this is a well-presented, move-in-ready retirement apartment in a well-kept, modern development close to Nailsworth’s shops and cafés. It will suit someone seeking a secure, low-maintenance base with communal amenities and nearby transport links, provided they accept electric heating and the ongoing service and ground rent costs.
