This ground‑floor apartment in Crosspool is designed for comfortable over‑60s living. The layout delivers two double bedrooms, a bright open-plan living area with direct access to a communal patio, and a compact, well-equipped kitchen — practical for independent downsizers who want minimal stairs and easy access to local shops and regular buses to the city and Broomhill.
The development provides on-site management, a residents’ lounge with regular activities, laundry facilities and a 24‑hour emergency pull‑cord system for extra peace of mind. Off‑street parking and neatly maintained communal gardens create a pleasant external setting, while double glazing helps with insulation and noise reduction.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement property with around 102 years remaining and annual costs that are above average: a service charge of £7,459.22pa and a ground rent of £820pa (both payable in two instalments). Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs.
The interior has been well cared for but some areas — particularly the living room — show dated finishes and would benefit from cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. For those seeking move‑in convenience within a social, supported community close to Crosspool amenities, this property offers a strong, chain‑free option; budget for ongoing service charges and potential refurbishment.
