Quietly positioned on the first floor of Longleat Court, this one-bedroom retirement flat offers practical, low-maintenance living for over-60s. The layout includes an entrance hall, living room, separate kitchen, bedroom and bathroom — all sized for comfortable everyday use. Communal amenities include a residents’ lounge, laundry room, guest suite and on-site parking with lift access and a 24-hour Appello emergency alarm for added reassurance.
The lease is long (125 years from 2000, c.100 years remaining) and the building benefits from video door entry and a development manager. Service charges are substantial and cover communal upkeep; prospective buyers should note the current annual service charge and a relatively high ground rent. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes.
Internally the finish is serviceable but dated: carpets and kitchen appear to need modernising to meet contemporary tastes. The flat will suit someone seeking a secure, social retirement setting rather than a project for major renovation. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, but the local area records higher crime and broader socioeconomic deprivation, which buyers should factor into their decision.
