This ground-floor retirement flat in Carlton Court is arranged for comfortable, low-maintenance living in the heart of Wells. The double-aspect sitting room/diner and direct access onto the walled communal gardens make the apartment feel light and connected to outdoor space, while two bedrooms both offer built-in storage. A re-fitted walk-in shower and a large airing cupboard add practical convenience.
Residents benefit from an emergency call system throughout the development, a residents’ lounge, guest suite and well-kept communal gardens that open onto the Recreation Ground. The location sits just off the Market Place: incredibly central yet surprisingly peaceful, with shops, markets and local amenities all within easy walking distance.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the flat is leasehold, offered chain-free, and measures about 657 sq ft — a comfortable size for downsizers seeking central convenience rather than large living spaces. Service charges are substantial at £4,221 per year and ground rent is £262; council tax is also above average. Parking is available to residents but is subject to availability.
Overall this property suits an over‑55 buyer wanting a city‑centre retirement base with communal support and outdoor access, who understands and accepts the costs and limitations of living in a managed development.
