Light, low-maintenance living in a popular over-60s development close to Nailsea town centre. This second-floor one-bedroom apartment overlooks the communal gardens, sits close to the lift and benefits from a resident lodge manager five days a week. Off-street private parking and a secure 24-hour Careline provide practical convenience and peace of mind.
The interior offers a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a sitting/dining room and a fully fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The shower room has a large cubicle with handrail and there is a useful hallway storage cupboard — a straightforward, accessible layout for everyday retirement living.
Sapphire Lodge includes regular owners’ social events, an owners’ lounge and an on-site guest suite, plus access to guest suites at other developments. Service charges cover many running costs including air-source heating, building maintenance and the Careline system, but note the relatively high annual service charge and separate ground rent.
Practical points to consider: broadband speeds are very slow in the area, and there are ongoing annual charges (service charge and ground rent) that affect running costs. The lease has about 116 years remaining, offering long-term security for buyers wanting a managed retirement setting.
