Summary - 23 Isabel Court, Cowick Street EX4 1FL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Comfortable, low-maintenance flat with park views and strong communal facilities.
Designed for 55+ retirement living with House Manager and emergency call system
This one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Isabel Court is designed specifically for buyers aged 55 and over, offering a low-maintenance retirement setting backing onto St Thomas Park. The living room opens onto a balcony with park views and the development provides practical facilities including a communal lounge, laundry, lift access and mobility scooter store — all managed by an on-site House Manager for extra peace of mind.
The apartment is well-proportioned for its size with a fitted kitchen, built-in bedroom wardrobe and an allocated section of the landscaped communal garden. The building is modern and energy-efficient (EPC B) with double glazing and no gas supply; heating is by electric room heaters. The tenure details are straightforward: leasehold with around 111 years remaining, modest ground rent and a regular service charge covering communal services.
Buyers should note the material running costs and obligations: the service charge is significant (about £214.78 pcm) and there is an annual ground rent and a compulsory 1% contingency contribution on sale completion. There is no onward chain, but the local area records higher crime levels and the apartment relies on electric heating rather than gas, which may affect running costs for some purchasers.
Overall, the property will suit someone seeking a secure, community-focused retirement home with easy access to local shops, bus routes and parkland, and who is comfortable with managed communal living and associated service costs.
