This well-presented ground-floor retirement apartment sits within a popular over-55s development on Tewkesbury High Street, offered with no onward chain. The bright reception room opens directly onto well-maintained communal gardens that back onto the river and adjacent park, giving a pleasant outlook and easy outdoor access. The modern kitchen and recently refitted shower room reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living, the one double bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and remote-controlled lighting. Residents benefit from an on-site house manager, communal lounge, laundry, guest suite, parking and a 24-hour emergency call system—useful for those wanting social activities and onsite support.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold (99-year lease started 1 Sept 1985), heated by electric storage heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel. Service charges are substantial (£4,018pa) and ground rent is c. £523pa. The property is modest in size (approximately 437 sq ft) and located in an area with a very high recorded crime level, which buyers should factor into their decision.
Overall, this apartment will suit an active older buyer seeking a central, social retirement setting with riverside communal gardens and a ready-to-move-in interior, provided they accept leasehold costs and the electric heating arrangement.
