Riverbourne Court Flat 63 is a top-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment designed for practical, low-maintenance living. The flat includes a fitted wardrobe, compact kitchen with hob and oven, and access to a communal garden — features that suit someone seeking a simple, secure base close to town amenities.
The development offers on-site support with a warden and a secured communal entrance, helping residents feel safe and connected. Its central location places shops, a hospital, bus stops and the train station within an easy ten-minute walk, making day-to-day errands straightforward without relying on a car.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the property uses electric storage heaters, the kitchen and bathroom reflect a 1990s–2000s finish and may suit upgrading, and the surrounding area is classified as deprived with very high local crime statistics. Parking is off-street but only “may be available” to residents, so car owners should confirm space availability.
Practical positives include a long remaining lease (103 years), no onward chain for a quicker move, double glazing and a modest overall size of about 617 sq ft that reduces ongoing maintenance. This apartment will suit downsizers or over‑55s wanting central convenience and peace of mind, and will appeal to buyers happy to modernise fittings over time.
