Set within Kingfisher Court, this first-floor retirement apartment offers independent living with on-site support and sociable communal facilities. A light living room opens onto a walk-out balcony, and the modern fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances — ready to use with minimal immediate work. The double bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and the shower room is an easy-access wet design, suited to mobility needs.
The development is purpose-built for over-70s and includes a bistro, homeowners’ lounge, landscaped gardens, guest suite, lift access and 24/7 CQC-registered staff. Practical benefits include full-fibre broadband, secure entry, monitored fire alarms and an emergency pull-cord system for added peace of mind.
Important practical points are straightforward: the home is sold under an Older Persons Shared Ownership arrangement (no rent payable at the shown share) with a long 999‑year lease, but the annual service charge is high (£10,013.16) and there is an annual ground rent (£435). Heating is electric room heaters, so budget for energy costs accordingly.
This apartment suits buyers seeking low‑maintenance, assisted-living convenience close to Taunton town centre — particularly those who value community life, on-site care options and modern, easy-access accommodation. The apartment’s compact footprint makes it best for a single occupant or couple comfortable with retirement apartment proportions.
