Bright, low-maintenance two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Beecham Lodge, a modern, well-kept development half a mile from Cirencester town centre. The layout offers a living/dining room with an electric feature fireplace, a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a shower room plus a separate WC. The flat is 709 sq ft and was built in 2015, so finishes and fabric are relatively recent.
The development is purpose-built for older owners and emphasises safety and community. A lodge manager is on site five days a week, there is a 24-hour Careline alarm, video entry, and communal fire detection. Owners’ communal lounge, regular social events and an on-site guest suite (also accessible across Churchill Living sites) make it easy to welcome visitors and join organised activities.
Practical benefits include owners’ parking, ground-source heating run through a community scheme, and a long lease (115 years remaining). The position is convenient for town amenities and transport links to Oxford and Bristol, while local broadband and mobile signal are average.
Important drawbacks to note: the property is leasehold with an above-average service charge of £5,352.58 p.a. and a comparatively high ground rent of £836.34 p.a. (next review due 2029). The single bathroom and average communal facilities may not suit buyers seeking a larger, self-contained family home. Prospective purchasers should check the service charge accounts and any management rules (including pet consent) before committing.
