This one-bedroom first-floor retirement flat in Crofton Court is offered chain-free and designed for residents aged 55 and over. The development provides warden-assisted entry, a stairlift/lift, communal gardens, laundry and a residents’ lounge — useful communal features for downsizers seeking low-maintenance living close to Yeovil town centre.
The apartment is compact (approximately 340 sq ft) with a practical layout: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are in place, and communal parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Council tax is very low and mobile/broadband connectivity is strong.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has about 62 years remaining, which may prevent some mortgage lenders from lending. Service charges average £3,050pa and ground rent is £250pa. The building dates from 1930–1949 with assumed solid brick walls and no built-in insulation, and the flat will benefit from modernisation — particularly heating and interior finishes.
The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with a higher local crime level, which may concern some purchasers. For a cash buyer or a specialist lender, the flat offers straightforward retirement living and potential to improve value with targeted refurbishment, but prospective purchasers should check mortgageability and factor ongoing service charges into affordability.
