Summary - GIFFORDS COURT FLAT 22 LOWBOURNE MELKSHAM SN12 7DY
2 bed 2 bath Retirement Property
Spacious two-bed retirement flat, town-centre living with communal garden.
Chain free first-floor retirement flat with lift access
A bright, first-floor retirement flat in the heart of Melksham, this two-bedroom apartment at Gifford’s Court offers straightforward, accessible living for those aged 60 and over. The main reception is generous and light, the master bedroom includes an en-suite, and the fitted kitchen comes with appliances — practical features that make day-to-day life easier. Lift access, communal gardens and a resident parking area add convenience.
The building was constructed in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and a secure communal layout with shared lounge, laundry, guest suite and on-site management. The flat is chain free and has a long lease (about 103 years remaining), making it suitable for buyers seeking a move-in-ready retirement home in a town-centre location close to shops, cafes and transport links.
Important practical points: heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity (no communal heating), and the property is leasehold with an average ground rent of £425. There are signs the flat would benefit from light updating — the living room carpet shows wear and there are mould spots reported — so budget for minor refurbishment. The local area is classified as very deprived with a higher crime level than average, and broadband speeds are only average.
Overall, this is a sensible, well-located retirement apartment for buyers prioritising convenience, communal facilities and easy access to town amenities. It will suit a buyer who wants a settled, low-maintenance home but who is comfortable with leasehold costs and occasional updating to bring finishes up to their taste.
