Summary - Flat 50, Vivary House, Kinglake Drive TA1 3RR
2 bed 2 bath Retirement Property
Spacious two-bedroom retirement apartment with village club facilities and gardens.
Top-floor apartment with far-reaching countryside views
Set on the top floor of Haines House, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment delivers bright, comfortable living with long views across the village to the Somerset countryside. The dual-aspect living/dining room opens to a juliet balcony for fresh air and outlook; the main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a private ensuite. The kitchen is practical and well-equipped with integrated appliances, and there is a second bedroom suitable for guests or a home office.
Haines House sits at the heart of a managed retirement village, with mature landscaped gardens, a residents’ restaurant and bar, village shop, guest suite and a 24-hour emergency call system. The building has secure communal access, automatic doors and a lift to all floors, while broadband speeds and mobile signal are both very good.
Practical details to note: the property is leasehold with an above-average service charge of £7,307 and a ground rent of £275. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed after 2002 and the block was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s. There is no recorded flood risk and the surrounding area is very affluent with very low crime.
This apartment suits downsizers wanting a sociable community with onsite amenities and low-maintenance grounds, but buyers should factor ongoing service charges and leasehold costs into affordability and long-term plans.
