Summary - 44, AVONBANK LODGE, WEST STREET RG14 1EZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low‑maintenance town‑centre retirement flat with communal gardens and social facilities.
Lift access to second floor
A modern one-bedroom retirement apartment in Avonbank Lodge, built in 2016 and designed for over‑60s living. The second‑floor flat offers lift access, a bright reception hall, a high‑quality fitted kitchen and a generous double bedroom — well suited to a single occupant or couple seeking low‑maintenance town‑centre living.
Residents benefit from strong communal facilities: well‑stocked communal gardens, an owners' lounge with bar, communal lounge, guest rooms, private car park and an on‑site Lodge Manager five days a week. There is also a 24‑hour Care‑line support connection and organised social activities, making this appealing for buyers prioritising community and security.
Practical running costs and constraints are clear: the property is leasehold (118 years remaining), with an annual service charge of around £3,100 (including heating and water) and an annual ground rent of £815.94. Heating is via the development’s community electric scheme and the apartment has double glazing. Council tax band B is comparatively inexpensive.
Notable considerations: the flat is compact (approximately 527 ft²) and located in a town‑centre area with higher crime statistics, which may concern some buyers. Overall, this is a convenient, low‑maintenance retirement option for someone seeking active communal living and easy access to Newbury town centre amenities.
