For purchasers of 60 years or over
This bright modern retirement apartment is located on the first floor of the block, and has two bedrooms, a living room and kitchen, and shower room, with plenty of storage space as well.
Sycamore Court, built in 1992, is a highly regarded development exclusively for occupation by those who have attained the age of 60, and managed by a committee of owners who oversee the daily running. Unusually for a retirement apartment, there is a share of the freehold, which automatically passes to the new owner. There are plenty of facilities for residents including a lounge, dining room (with subsidised lunches available), and laundry service, in addition to a guest suite for visiting relatives and the service charge includes a full time manager at the Court. No onward chain.
The service charge is broken down as follows:
• Staff wages (24 hr staffing)
• Communal utility bills
• Cleaning of the apartments and communal areas
• Maintenance of the building
• External window cleaning (of Court and apartments),
• Gardener and handyman
• Maintenance of lifts/fire alarm/24 hour alarm call system
• Buildings insurance, public and employers’ liability insurance, communal contents insurance
• Household supplies for the Court
• Small lunch subsidy
• Court telephone and office expenses
• Accountancy expenses, and minor repairs and equipment costs
• It also includes a small contribution to the fund for future maintenance
