A ground-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat positioned within a popular sheltered development, just a level walk from Salisbury city centre. The flat sits close to communal amenities including a residents’ lounge, laundry, car park and attractive riverside gardens, and benefits from a resident house manager and 24-hour emergency pull-cord system for independent living.
The accommodation is practical and straightforward: entrance hall with good storage, a sitting/dining room opening to the front, a compact fitted kitchen, double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and a bathroom with a walk-in bath and shower. PVCu double glazing and electric night-storage heaters are installed; total internal area is approximately 486 sq ft.
This will suit an over-60s buyer seeking convenience, safety and community rather than a modern, low-running-cost home. There is no onward chain and the lease has around 97 years remaining, which avoids immediate lease-extension pressure.
Notable running costs and local context should be considered: the service charge and ground rent are relatively high and heating is electric storage, which can be costly. The location is in a city centre area flagged as having high local crime and some deprivation; buyers should weigh these factors alongside the flat’s strong communal support and riverside gardens.
