Summary - STRAND COURT 37 CHINGSWELL STREET BIDEFORD EX39 2NP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Purpose-built retirement flat with lift, Careline and south-facing outlook near town and quayside.
South-facing view over communal bowls green
A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor of Strand Court, arranged for residents aged 60+. The living room and bedroom enjoy a sought-after south-facing aspect over the adjoining bowls green, bringing light and a pleasant outlook. The block offers practical resident-focused features including a lift, 24-hour Careline, camera entry, a House Manager and a guest suite for visitors.
The flat is offered chain-free with a 125-year lease (from 2001) and communal facilities maintained by an annual service charge of around £2,900 and ground rent of £350. Accommodation is comfortable and practical: a generous lounge/dining room with Juliet balcony, compact kitchen, double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and an accessible shower room. Electric storage heaters and double glazing are in place.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold and aimed at over-60s, there is very limited resident parking and the area has a recorded high flood risk and higher crime levels—these factors will affect insurance and personal safety considerations. Heating is by electric storage heaters so running costs can be higher than gas-heated properties.
For retirees wanting convenience, the flat occupies a level location close to Bideford town centre, the quayside and local amenities, with excellent mobile and fast broadband. The building and communal gardens are well maintained, making this a low-maintenance option for someone seeking a secure, sociable retirement base rather than a full countryside retreat.
