This one-bedroom over-55s apartment places town-centre convenience and riverside calm together. The living room opens onto a private balcony with direct views over the County Cricket Ground — a rare perk for sports fans and for those who enjoy a bright, airy place to sit outside. The building offers communal facilities including a large lounge, terrace, guest suite, lift access and an on-site manager for added support and social opportunities.
Practical features suit independent retirement living: gated parking (first-come, first-served), a mobility-scooter charging point, ultrafast broadband and easy access to rail links and the M5. The property is offered with no onward chain and a long lease, making it straightforward to purchase and move into without delay.
Buyers should note material costs and location factors: the property is leasehold with service charges of about £3,078.50 pa and ground rent of £459 pa, council tax is band F (expensive) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can raise running costs. Parking is not allocated and operates on a first-come basis. The immediate area records very high crime and high deprivation indexes — worth visiting at different times to assess safety and local amenity use.
Overall, this apartment best suits an active older buyer seeking a town-centre retirement base with social facilities and a balcony view, who is comfortable with leasehold costs and the realities of an urban setting. Viewing will show how the communal amenities and riverside location balance the service charges and local area considerations.
