This is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment situated in Ladybower Court, a McCarthy and Stone retirement development on North Road in Glossop, Derbyshire. The property is presented in a clean and well-maintained condition, with the photos showing functional and largely up-to-date fixtures and fittings. However, the interior design is somewhat dated.

The apartment’s location is a key advantage, being in close proximity to Glossop train station (0.36km), providing easy access to public transport, and a selection of schools (within approximately 0.5km – 0.8km radius), including St Luke’s Cofe Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). The surrounding streets demonstrate a mix of property values, indicating a reasonably desirable residential location. However, the development is described as specifically targeted towards the over-55s. The lack of information regarding average sqft pricing makes it difficult to determine whether the list price is a true reflection of the current market. The property is described as having no garden, only a small patio area. This is a significant drawback for many buyers. This retirement complex offers communal amenities, such as a residents’ lounge and laundry facilities. Overall, it presents itself as a comfortable and convenient living option for an older buyer, but may not appeal to a younger demographic. The property would likely benefit from some modernization to appeal to a broader range of buyers.

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