This first-floor retirement apartment in Cottle Avenue offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms and practical, low-maintenance living for the over-55s. The apartment includes two double bedrooms (one with dressing area and ensuite), a central dining hall, a dual-aspect sitting room that opens onto a private balcony, and a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room — all presented in good order and ready to move into with no onward chain.
Practical conveniences include a lift to the first floor, allocated off-street parking and well-maintained communal areas. The long lease (999 years from 2012) provides security for buyers, and the town-centre location places independent shops, restaurants, medical services and the train station within easy reach — Bath is a short 12-minute train journey away.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold retirement development with an above-average annual service charge of £5,880 and ground rent of £350 per year. Council tax is described as above average. The property suits purchasers seeking a comfortable, low-maintenance home in a very affluent, low-crime small-town setting rather than someone looking for a low-running-cost investment or a freehold house.
