A well-presented two-bedroom first-floor retirement apartment in Victoria Court, positioned just off Portishead High Street and convenient for local shops and services. The development is for the over-55s and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a communal landscaped garden, offering a low-maintenance lifestyle close to amenities.
The layout is traditional and practical: a generous lounge with fireplace, a fitted kitchen with Vaillant boiler, two bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobe) and a tiled shower room. The flat is chain free and comes with a new 99-year lease, making it straightforward to purchase for buyers seeking a retirement home or downsizer.
Buyers should note a management charge of £1,359.44 per year and a local authority buy-back scheme that may affect future resale (North Somerset Council can buy back at market value less 10% after set periods). Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to one car per household.
Practical considerations: the property sits in an area with high recorded crime and requires a landline for the communal call monitoring system. Broadband speeds are average and the apartment is small in overall size, so it will suit buyers prioritising location, communal support and low-maintenance living over larger living space.
