Secure, supported living near Newport high street with communal restaurant and gardens.
Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with private patio
A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Somers Brook Court, built 2014 and designed for independent retirement living (70+). The living room opens directly onto a private patio, creating a comfortable indoor-outdoor flow. The kitchen has integrated appliances and the bathroom includes both a bath and level-access shower, useful for mobility needs. The development offers extensive communal facilities including a table-service restaurant, homeowners’ lounge, laundry, scooter store and landscaped gardens. An on-site estate manager, 24-hour staff presence and emergency call system add daily reassurance, and one hour of domestic assistance is included weekly.
Practical details suit long-term ownership: a 125-year lease from 2013 (about 113 years remaining), annual ground rent £435 and a substantial service charge (£9,565.87 for the year ending 28/02/2026) which covers heating/lighting of communal areas, gardening, building insurance and included services. Private parking is available by permit (around £250/year) but there may be a waiting list. Broadband is listed as available with superfast fibre technically present, though recorded local speeds are slow; mobile signal is excellent.
Notable negatives to consider: the service charge is high for a one-bedroom apartment and will affect affordability; the property is leasehold with ground rent review due in 2028; local crime levels are above average and flooding risk is assessed as medium. These material factors should be weighed alongside the strong on-site support and communal lifestyle when deciding if this suits your needs.
This apartment will appeal to buyers seeking a secure, low-maintenance retirement base close to Newport town centre and shops. It offers immediate move-in condition with scope to personalise, while the communal services provide flexibility for additional care if required.
