This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Castle Lodge offers low-maintenance living close to Chippenham town centre, designed for residents aged 55 and over. The flat includes a lounge, fitted kitchen, bathroom and access to strong communal facilities including a lounge, laundry, guest suite and gardens — ideal for someone seeking community and convenience.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining, a service charge around £2,834 pa and ground rent of £660 pa. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the listed sale is a probate transaction which may lengthen timetables for completion. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity.
This apartment suits a downsizer or retired buyer wanting secure, low-upkeep accommodation with on-site support and communal amenities. It is well-presented and built in the late 1990s/early 2000s, but prospective buyers should allow for potential modernisation and confirm service details and any additional leasehold costs prior to purchase.
Note on local context: the property sits in a deprived area with very high recorded crime rates; visitors are encouraged to view the location in person to assess suitability and safety for their needs.
