Set within the sought-after Pegasus Court, this first-floor over-55s apartment offers low-maintenance living with attractive communal facilities and river-edge views. The living/dining room opens onto a private balcony facing the Somerset County Cricket Ground — a pleasant spot for fresh air and watching matches from home. Lift access, a residents’ lounge, laundry room and guest flat add convenience for visitors and social life.
Internally the apartment is well-presented with a fitted kitchen and integrated appliances, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and a bathroom that includes a separate shower cubicle. The layout suits someone looking to downsize without sacrificing living space; the overall size is average at about 527 sq ft and offers practical, manageable accommodation.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with 110 years remaining. Service charges and ground rent are significant — currently around £3,187 per year service charge and £459 ground rent — and council tax is above average. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal system, which may affect running costs.
The development is centrally located close to supermarkets, shops, public transport and riverside walks, but the immediate area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may concern some buyers. This apartment is offered chain-free, making it straightforward to move in quickly for those prioritising location and retirement community amenities.
