A bright, first-floor retirement apartment in Clifton, offered chain free and designed for purchasers aged 60+. The large reception room with bay window brings generous light and provides space to dine and entertain in a comfortable living area. Two bedrooms and a separate modern kitchen suit downsizers wanting space for occasional visitors or use of a second room as a study.
Whatley Court is a well-kept development with lift access, a sociable residents' lounge and attractive communal gardens. Onsite management, guest accommodation and limited guest parking add practical convenience for visiting family. The apartment is warm and well-presented with built-in storage and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with about 62 years remaining and a relatively high service charge (circa £4,221 pa) plus ground rent (£280 pa). Some mortgage lenders may refuse lending with this lease length; buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice. The apartment is small (approx. 611 sq ft) and has one shower room, which may limit flexibility for some buyers.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a sociable, city-centre retirement setting close to Whiteladies Road amenities and good local transport. It offers comfortable, low-maintenance living but comes with the financial and legal considerations typical of older leasehold retirement blocks.
