This well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment occupies approximately 551 sq ft and is designed for independent living with on-site support. The living room opens onto a small balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens; the kitchen is modern with integrated appliances and the bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe. Underfloor electric heating and double glazing add comfort and low visual maintenance.
Wardington Court is a Retirement Living PLUS development offering 24-hour on-site staffing, an Estates Manager, a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, function room, laundry, guest suite and landscaped grounds. One hour of domestic assistance is included in the service charge each week and additional personal care packages are available from the CQC-registered team.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (around 991 years) and a ground rent of £435 per annum with the next review in 2030. The annual service charge is £9,385.64, which covers staffing, communal services and upkeep but is relatively high and should be budgeted for. The wider area has a higher crime score and local deprivation indicators, though the development itself provides secure entry systems and an intensive on-site support structure.
This apartment suits an over-70 buyer looking for an independent, low-maintenance home with access to care and a sociable community. It offers immediate vacant possession and scope to move in with minimal decorating, while buyers should factor running costs and local area conditions into their decision.
