A bright first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Roswell Court, built in 2013 by specialist retirement developers. The living room opens to a Juliet balcony with pleasant views over landscaped communal gardens and distant coastal outlooks. The apartment includes an integrated kitchen, a spacious double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, and a modern bathroom with both a bath and a level-access walk-in shower.
Roswell Court is a Retirement Living Plus development offering extensive communal facilities: an on-site restaurant with subsidised lunches, homeowners’ lounge, laundry, mobility scooter store, landscaped gardens and a popular roof terrace with panoramic sea views. On-site staff and a 24/7 careline provide peace of mind, and a range of tailor-made care and domestic packages are available to suit changing needs.
Practical points are clear and straightforward: the property is leasehold with 112 years remaining, there is an annual service charge of £10,543.91 and ground rent of £435 per year. The service charge covers many benefits (staffing, cleaning, maintenance, utilities for communal areas and a contingency fund) but is significant and should be budgeted for; entitlement benefits may offset some costs for eligible owners.
This apartment will suit someone looking to downsize into a social, well-serviced retirement community with easy access to Exmouth’s beach, coastal walks and local amenities. Note the community electric heating and the permit-based off-street parking, both relevant when assessing running costs.
