Low-maintenance flat with communal facilities and town-centre convenience.
Chain-free third-floor retirement apartment with lift access
A chain-free, third-floor retirement apartment in Windsor Court offers low-maintenance living above Newquay town centre. The flat has a generous lounge/diner, double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with shower over bath. Residents benefit from communal facilities including a welcoming lounge with regular activities, landscaped gardens, laundry room, guest suite, lift access and 24-hour careline support.
Practical features include uPVC double glazing, electric storage heating and off-street parking. The building appears well maintained and the apartment’s position provides countryside views from principal rooms. With 101 years remaining on the lease this is suitable for someone seeking a ready-made retirement community close to shops, transport and coastal amenities.
Notable running costs are material: a service charge around £3,500pa and a ground rent of £771pa, which will affect monthly outgoings. The kitchen shows dated 1980s fittings and some modernisation may be desired. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives.
Overall this is a sensible option for a retiree wanting social facilities and on-site support in a town-centre location, provided the purchaser is comfortable with leasehold costs and potential small refurbishments.
