A spacious, ground-floor retirement apartment offering direct patio access and pleasant canal-side views. At about 927 sq ft this two-bedroom home feels generous for its type, with a bright living-dining room, modern fitted kitchen and a shower/bathroom designed with grab rails and slip-resistant flooring for safety. The second bedroom opens onto the patio and has fitted wardrobes, giving flexible use as a bedroom, dining room or hobby space.
The development provides extensive communal facilities aimed at independent retirement living: an on-site restaurant with sun terrace, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped canalside gardens, guest suite, regular social activities and 24-hour on-site staffing with emergency response. Lifts and wheelchair access make the whole complex easy to navigate, while fast broadband and an active homeowners’ association support convenience and community.
Buyers should note the material running costs and tenure details: the property is leasehold with 116 years remaining, an annual service charge of £13,555.15 (very expensive) and a ground rent of £510 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than communal heating. A parking permit is available but usually costs around £250 per year and spaces are limited.
This apartment will suit someone seeking secure, social retirement living with low-maintenance outdoor space and strong on-site services. It also works for buyers who prioritise accessibility and community but must be comfortable with high service charges and electric heating costs.
