Summary - 35 Shackleton Place, Bath Road, DEVIZES SN10 2GZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Well-equipped retirement apartment with balcony, parking and 24/7 on-site care.
Second-floor apartment with no neighbour above
A bright, well-presented two-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor with no apartment above, offering a walk-out balcony overlooking well-maintained communal gardens. Built in 2018, the home benefits from modern fitted kitchen appliances, fast full-fibre broadband and an allocated parking space — practical features for comfortable independent living.
The development is operated as Retirement Living Plus, with 24/7 on-site CQC-registered care staff, an Estates Manager, emergency call system and an active homeowners’ lounge and bistro. These communal services and security systems provide peace of mind and a sociable lifestyle for those aged 70+. The long lease (999 years) is a genuine long-term advantage.
Buyers should note the substantial annual service charge (£12,731.68) and ground rent (£510 pa). These cover extensive services — staffing, communal utilities, garden and building maintenance, communal cleaning, insurance and the bistro running costs — but they materially increase ongoing occupancy costs. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives, despite the property’s efficient construction.
Overall, this apartment suits downsizers seeking a secure, low‑maintenance retirement setting with onsite care and social facilities. It offers modern accommodation and convenience close to Devizes town centre, but prospective purchasers should weigh the high service charges and electric heating costs against the practical benefits provided.
