1 bed apartment to buy in PR2

Presenting this excellent opportunity to acquire a chain-free retirement apartment through the Modern Method of Auction, proudly offered to the market by Dewhurst Homes. Available on a 70% shared ownership basis, this well-maintained first-floor apartment forms part of the highly regarded Guardian Close retirement development in the heart of Fulwood, exclusively designed for residents aged 60 and over.

The apartment offers comfortable and well-proportioned accommodation, comprising a spacious lounge with pleasant views, a fitted kitchen, a generous double bedroom, and a three-piece shower room featuring a corner shower enclosure with electric shower. The property also benefits from a useful loft storage area, providing additional practical storage rarely found in similar retirement apartments.

Ideally situated within easy reach of local amenities, the development enjoys excellent transport links to Preston city centre and beyond. A range of everyday conveniences, including a post office, library, hairdressers, doctors surgeries, and dental practices, are all within walking distance, while supermarkets, leisure facilities, and additional shopping amenities are easily accessible via local transport routes.

The development offers residents a safe, secure, and welcoming environment with a strong sense of community. A spacious communal lounge provides the perfect setting for socialising and organised resident activities, while the communal laundry facilities offer additional convenience. The building is serviced by a lift to all floors, ensuring ease of access throughout.

We have been been advised the sinking fund contributions will be reflective of the full value of the property and not the sale value.

Residents can also enjoy beautifully maintained landscaped gardens and resident parking. Regular social events and activities help foster a friendly community atmosphere, including coffee mornings, games evenings, organised outings, and film nights.

For additional peace of mind, the development benefits from a resident Development Manager and a 24-hour emergency call system, providing support and reassurance whenever required.

This is a fantastic opportunity for those seeking independent retirement living within a popular and well-established development. Early enquiries are highly recommended.

ONLINE AUCTION NOTICE

I hereby acknowledge and confirm the following:

My bid may be accepted by the seller at any time before the close of the auction. It is subject to the terms and conditions of the auction which I have read and understood. I have read and understood the legal pack applicable to my bid/lot and agree to be bound by any special conditions within that pack.

If my bid is successful (whether as the highest bid or upon acceptance by the seller in the course of the auction) I shall be bound by the lot terms and conditions as advertised online.

Any amount payable at the close of the auction must be paid within 1 hour.

Please note that the bidding process will work in a different way to an eBay auction, so there is NO advantage to bidding at the last second.

Each auction will automatically stay open until there has not been a bid within the final 10 minutes. If no bid has been submitted within the final 10 minutes of the auction, the auction will close and the highest bidder will be successful subject to the reserve price being met or upon acceptance of an offer by the seller throughout the auction cycle. If there is another bid within 10 minutes of the last bid, the auction countdown timer will be restarted for another 10 minutes to allow further bidding. This system avoids last-minute (or second) bidding and makes for a fairer auction as in a live-room auction situation.

Please bid in good time before the end of the auction, delaying your bid to the last seconds may disadvantage you if your connection slows or you lose internet connectivity.

The auctioneer is not responsible for any tech issues, power outage or error messages which hampers or eliminates an individual's opportunity to bid.

It is the bidder's responsibility to ensure the bid has been lodged with the auctioneer. It is therefore beneficial to bid on your chosen lot at your earliest opportunity.

The auctioneer accepts no responsibility for bids that are not received or are received late and reserves the right to reject any bid without notice.

Minimum online bidding increments:
£50,000 - £250 minimum bid
£50,001 to £150,000 - £500 minimum bid
£150,001 to £250,000 - £1,000 minimum bid
£250,001 to £750,000 - £2,500 minimum bid
£750,001 to £1.5 Million - £5,000 minimum bid
