Summary - CASTLE COURT FLAT 26 RIVER PARK MARLBOROUGH SN8 1XG
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Comfortable one‑bed retirement flat close to Marlborough High Street and riverside walks.
First-floor apartment with lift access and double-aspect living room
This first-floor, over-60s apartment in Castle Court offers a compact, low-maintenance home with pleasant riverside communal gardens and easy access to Marlborough town centre. The double-aspect living room is bright and connects to a modern kitchen; the double bedroom includes fitted storage. Communal amenities include a sitting room, conservatory, laundry, guest room (by arrangement), and a House Manager with alarm monitoring for added peace of mind.
Practical running costs are straightforward: electric storage and convector heating, mains services, and an annual service charge of £3,004.26 (2025) covering buildings insurance, lift maintenance, exterior cleaning, gardening, alarm monitoring and a sinking fund. Parking is available on an unallocated, first-come basis. The building dates from the 1980s and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002.
Important lease information and funding note: the property is leasehold with a 99-year lease from 1 April 1990 — approximately 64 years remaining. This shorter lease term may affect mortgage availability and should be checked with lenders and a solicitor before proceeding. The property is well suited to downsizers seeking a social retirement community near shops, amenities and riverside walks, but buyers should factor in the service charge and lease position.
Overall this is a well-kept, manageable retirement flat in a sought-after Marlborough location. It delivers community facilities, a secure communal setting and attractive gardens, balanced against lease length and reliance on electric heating.
