This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, is listed at £85,000. The property is located on Northampton Road, within easy reach of Market Harborough town centre and its amenities. Nearby schools, including Welland Park Academy and St Joseph’s Catholic Voluntary Academy (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), are within a reasonable distance, making it potentially suitable for those seeking proximity to educational facilities. Transport links are convenient with Market Harborough train station relatively close.

The apartment itself appears to be well-maintained, although the décor and fittings seem dated. The photographs show a clean and functional space, but the overall style may not appeal to all buyers. The apartment includes a small balcony, providing limited outdoor space, but there is access to communal gardens and facilities which may be a plus for some buyers. The lack of detailed information, such as plot size and average price per sqft for this type of property, makes an absolute determination of value difficult, and the comparison to similar properties within the development shows some inconsistencies in price. Overall, the property represents a relatively affordable entry point to the Market Harborough housing market, particularly for those seeking retirement living, but is likely to appeal to a niche market.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
