This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement apartment sits in a Grade II listed building on St Ann Place, a short level walk to Salisbury city centre. The flat is part of a popular over‑55s complex with attractively maintained communal gardens, a residents’ lounge, laundry facilities, guest suite and an on‑site manager, offering practical conveniences and social spaces for downsizers.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: sitting/dining room with a feature fireplace, fitted kitchen with integrated oven, two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. The apartment benefits from gas central heating, secondary glazing and is offered with no onward chain; sellers will also pay the stamp duty, which eases completion costs.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and can make repairs or changes more complicated and costly. The lease has around 83 years remaining and the annual service charge is high at £4,270.28, so budget for ongoing communal costs. Broadband speeds are slow and local crime levels and area deprivation are recorded as higher than average.
This property suits a buyer seeking a low‑maintenance city‑centre retirement base with communal support and social facilities, who is comfortable with a listed building and the ongoing service charge. It’s a practical, well-located home with clear benefits and some predictable limitations.
