Thame spreads out from the historic market place and there are numerous high quality independent shops including butchers, bakers and delicatessens, in addition to Waitrose and the usual chains and a variety of restaurants and pubs. Haddenham Parkway Station is less than three miles from the town centre and the M40 is under 10 minutes’ drive.Further Development InformationThe apartment provides a lifestyle choice for people over sixty years of age wishing to reduce their personal responsibilities in respect of managing their own property. It offers an opportunity to belong to an active community and the option to participate in shared activities as organised by the apartment ‘owners’ themselves which take place in the beautiful, shared lounge on the ground floor. Outside there is a shared patio surrounded by maintained mature trees and flowerbeds so that summer days can be enjoyed alongside other owners in the outdoors. Given that 30 Yeats lodge is a one-bedroom apartment, this does not mean that a new ‘owner’ cannot have family and friends to stay. For a nominal amount, the beautiful guest suite (on the second floor directly above the apartment) is available for ‘owners’ to book, so they can enjoy having visitors stay overnight. As part of the organisation of Yeats Lodge, Churchill Living employs a Lodge Manager who is available within office hours to look after the building in general and also support ‘owners’ with any help they need with their individual apartments. Each apartment is fitted with a Careline intercom and personal tag meaning there is support 24/7 for any apartment ‘owner’ that needs it.Material InformationTenure - Leasehold Lease Length - 999 years from 8th April 2021 Ground Rent - £575 per annum, paid in two six monthly instalments of £287.50 Ground Rent Review Period: Every 10 Years, due 2031 Current Maitenance Charge - £1,523.35 for the next 6 monthly period (which equates to £253.89/month or £58.59/week) Maintenance charge includes: Lodge manager costs/emergency alarm system/communal areas (incl lounge, lift & gardens)/buildings insurance/contribution to redecorations fund)/guest suite/water/ground source heating Maintenance charge excludes: electricity/telephone & broadband/council tax/tv licence/internal window cleaning/internal maintenance and redecorations/contents insurance Council Tax Band - B Council tax information is sourced directly from the government database.
