Comfortable over‑55s flat with communal facilities — lease has c.60 years left.
First-floor one-bedroom flat in over-55s development
Quiet and practical, this one-bedroom first-floor flat in Parsonage Court is designed for comfortable over-55s living. A bright living/dining room overlooks well-kept communal gardens and the kitchen has a newly fitted oven and hob. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the shower room has been refitted. Modern double glazing and electric radiator heating help keep running costs reasonable.
The development is built around communal facilities that make daily life easier: residents’ lounge and conservatory, laundry room, on-site house manager, Call-Care emergency system, visitor suite and off‑street parking. The property is offered with no onward chain and benefits from recent practical updates including a new stop‑cock and an updated toilet system.
There are notable ownership costs and legal constraints to consider. The lease has approximately 60 years remaining (original 99-year lease from 1986), which may restrict mortgage availability and could deter some lenders. The annual service charge is £2,950 and ground rent is £450 per year. Council Tax Band C and an EPC rating of C (70) are additional factual details for buyers to weigh.
This flat will suit a downsizer or purchaser seeking a low-maintenance retirement base near Highworth High Street, who accepts communal living and is comfortable dealing with lease considerations and service charges. For those planning longer-term ownership, exploring lease extension options and lender criteria early is advisable.
