A well-presented two-bedroom apartment in Fonteine Court, designed for over‑55s seeking low‑maintenance, community living close to Ross-on-Wye town centre. The flat sits within a tidy, purpose-built block with communal lounge, laundry, and landscaped gardens — making everyday life straightforward and social for a single person or couple.
Practical features include gated communal parking, a sunny rear garden, and wheelchair-friendly fittings in the shower room. The apartment is cosy at around 527 sq ft, with double glazing and night storage heaters; service charges are modest compared with similar developments.
Important cautions: the lease has about 62 years remaining and mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on this term. The lease also restricts subletting and limits pet replacements. The area records higher crime and some deprivation, and there is a medium long‑term flood risk — factors to weigh alongside the convenience and community benefits.
This property suits a retired buyer looking for an easy‑care home with social amenities nearby, or a cash buyer/investor who understands leasehold limitations. Viewing is recommended to assess suitability, accessibility and the communal environment in person.
