Designed for residents aged 60+, this second-floor retirement apartment in Castle Lodge offers low-maintenance, central living close to Chippenham’s shops, bus station and railway links. The building provides a lift, communal lounge, laundry and a guest suite for visitors, plus on-site management and off-street parking. The flat is chain free and has a long lease (108 years).
The accommodation is compact (about 412 sq ft) and practical: a sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a shower room. Double glazing and electric storage heaters are fitted; the layout is traditional and straightforward, suited to single occupancy or a couple seeking convenience rather than large living space.
Buyers should note a few material points: broadband speeds in the area are reported very slow, heating is electric storage (no communal gas), and the wider area has high crime and higher deprivation levels. Ground rent is around £495 and the tenure is leasehold, so buyers should factor ongoing service charges and leasehold responsibilities into their budget.
For a purchaser prioritising location and communal support, this apartment represents an affordable, ready-to-move-into option with social facilities and easy access to transport and town-centre amenities. It’s less suitable for anyone needing large indoor space, fast internet, or low-crime surroundings.
