This well-presented first-floor apartment in Chantry Court offers low-maintenance, independent living tailored to over-55s. The sitting/dining room with a bay-style window looks across to St Mary’s Church and receives good natural light. Modern kitchen and shower room, two double bedrooms and a large built-in wardrobe make the layout practical for downsizers.
Residents benefit from extensive communal amenities: a residents’ lounge, communal rooftop terrace, guest suite, lift access and a 24-hour emergency Careline system. The flat is sold with no onward chain and is centrally located for shops, the canal walks and town services — convenient for day-to-day life in Devizes.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has around 61 years remaining, which may restrict mortgage options and affect resale value. Monthly service charge (£275.95) and ground rent apply, and heating is by electric storage heaters (no communal gas). The property is compact at about 559 sq ft.
Practical points: council tax band B and an EPC rating of B are positives for running costs. The area shows higher local crime statistics and average broadband speeds; mobile signal is excellent. Overall, the apartment suits a purchaser seeking an easy-to-manage retirement base with communal support and a central town location, provided they accept the lease length and service charges.
