Summary - 61, BOWES-LYON COURT, 2, BOWES-LYON PLACE DT1 3DA
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Spacious two-bedroom retirement flat with full-width balcony and extensive on-site facilities.
Top-floor two double bedrooms, both with balcony access
Designed for independent over-70s living, this top-floor two-double-bedroom apartment in Bowes Lyon Court combines comfort with community. Large bedrooms and a full-width private balcony bring light and courtyard views, while underfloor heating keeps the interior warm and low-maintenance. The contemporary kitchen includes integrated Neff appliances and the layout is practical with generous storage and both a wet room and separate guest WC.
Residents benefit from an extensive on-site offer: restaurant, café lounge, library, guest suite, mobility scooter charging and a 24/7 on-site team. One hour of domestic cleaning per week is included and communal maintenance (gardens, windows, building upkeep) is covered, supporting a simpler, sociable lifestyle in central Poundbury close to shops and amenities.
Important costs and practicalities are clear: the property is leasehold with 116 years remaining, an annual service charge of £11,886.69 and ground rent of £510. These cover heating, communal services and on-site staffing but make running costs higher than average. Broadband speeds are reported slow and underground parking requires an annual permit (approx. £250/year).
This apartment suits downsizers seeking low-maintenance, community-focused living with added support and social facilities. It’s chain-free and ready to move into, but you should factor the ongoing service charge and ground rent into affordability plans.
