Description

A ground floor, newly redecorated and recarpeted, two bedroom retirement property set within Retirement Security's Gorselands Court, a development for the over 65's. The accommodation comprises entrance hall with two storage cupboards, living/dining room with feature fireplace, kitchen with double oven, newly fitted hob and tap and fridge/freezer, master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, and a second bedroom plus luxury wet rom with walk-in level access shower.

Located in a leafy and desirable suburb of South Liverpool near to the glorious Sefton Park is Gorselands Court. There are local shops on the doorstep and excellent transport links taking you to Liverpool City Centre or to Allerton Road: the heart of South Liverpool with its Banks and Bistros. The Court stands in its own private gardens with 53 beautiful 1 or 2 bedroom apartments over 3 floors. All apartments have fully fitted kitchens with integrated white goods spacious bathrooms or level access showers. Perhaps the greatest thing we can offer you is community, there is always someone to sit and chat with or a friendly member of staff to make you a cup of tea.

Within the UK, Retirement Security was one of the first to establish Independent Retirement Communities and, since its inception in 1983, has continued to be a trail blazer for nearly 40 years.

The company was established to offer affordable homes within a happy and secure environment carefully designed for ease of access, in which owners could enjoy their retirement and thrive in an active supportive community, but where they could also protect and keep control of their hard-earned finances through running their own communities - Communities for owners run by owners. That remains true today in each of Retirement Security's 32 courts across England and Wales.

It is important to note that a significant proportion of the Service Charge relates to items which the prospective purchaser is responsible for in their present home, such as building insurance, building maintenance, gardening, and domestic help.

The lease provides that a transfer premium is payable to Retirement Security on resale of a property. The maximum premium payable is 3% of the sale price depending on the length of time an Owner has lived at the property. Further information is available from the Court Manager.
