Low-maintenance, sociable living near shops and transport for downsizers.
Walk-out balcony with leafy communal garden views
This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment in Broadfield Court offers low-maintenance living with a walk-out balcony and leafy communal gardens. Purpose-built in 2016 for over-70s, the development provides on-site Estate Managers (7am–11pm), a 24-hour emergency call system, an on-site bistro, homeowners’ lounge, guest suite and resident parking (permit scheme). The apartment’s living room with corner glazing and French door floods the space with light and leads onto the balcony.
Practical features include a fitted kitchen, principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, a fully tiled wet-room shower, extra storage and circa 77 sq m (829 sq ft) of accommodation. Thirty minutes of domestic assistance per week is included in the service charge, with additional care packages available by arrangement. The location sits close to Prestwich Village, local shops and good transport links along Bury New Road (A56).
Buyers should note the material costs tied to ownership: the annual service charge is £13,007.08 and ground rent is £510 per year. Car parking is by permit and subject to availability, and the property uses electric storage heaters which may affect running costs. The lease is long (999 years from 2016), and the building’s communal running costs fund the extensive on-site services and facilities.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking a well-managed, sociable retirement setting with low internal maintenance needs and good local amenities, provided they are comfortable with the higher service charge and the electric heating arrangement.
