A bright, south-facing two-bedroom fourth-floor apartment in Melton Court, designed for independent retirement living. The flat has been well presented with a brand-new high-gloss white kitchen, new kitchen flooring, gas central heating and double glazing, plus fitted carpets and curtains. The generous lounge with a large front window and two double bedrooms (one with a walk-in wardrobe) make this a comfortable, low-effort home for over-65s.
Melton Court offers substantial on-site support and communal life: staff are available 24 hours, daily wellbeing checks are carried out, subsidised three-course lunches are served seven days a week, and there are regular social activities. Practical features include a passenger lift, communal and visitor parking, laundry services, and a weekly 1.5-hour apartment cleaning allowance — useful for downsizers or those seeking easy maintenance.
Important considerations: this is a leasehold, probate sale with approximately 98 years remaining. Service charges are high (about £9,000–£10,800 per year) and cover building insurance, water and many communal services; council tax is also described as expensive. The apartment is chain free but located in an area with above-average crime statistics, which potential buyers should weigh against the strong on-site staffing and community support.
Positioning is convenient: under 200 metres to a Tesco superstore, around half a mile to Branksome train station and Westbourne shopping, and within easy reach of Bournemouth and Poole centres. EPC rating B and mains gas heating are practical advantages for running costs and comfort.
