Summary - Apartment 25 St. Athelm Lodge, West Street, WELLS BA5 2GW
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Luxury retirement flat close to Wells High Street with communal gardens and guest suite.
Second-floor one-bedroom with lift access to all floors
This second-floor one-bedroom apartment in St. Athelm Lodge is designed for comfortable retirement living a short, level walk from Wells High Street. The dual-aspect sitting/dining room and well-fitted kitchen with integrated appliances provide a bright, easy-to-manage living space. The development offers practical conveniences such as a lift to all floors, communal gardens, a residents' lounge with events, a pre-bookable guest suite and undercover scooter charging.
Practicalities are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 979 years remaining, sold with NO ONWARD CHAIN, and benefits from a house manager and a 24/7 Careline wearable alarm system. Annual service charge (£3,780.83) covers central heating, water, buildings insurance and communal maintenance; ground rent is £575 pa. The heating is provided by a community scheme and mains services are included in the service charge.
Buyers should note material negatives factually: the area has a recorded high flood risk and higher-than-average local crime. The property is leasehold with notable annual service and ground rent costs that affect running expenses. Overall, this apartment suits a buyer wanting low-maintenance, social retirement living close to town amenities, provided they accept the communal costs and local environmental risks.
