This fourth-floor one-bedroom apartment in Royal Arch Court is a purpose-built over-55s residence offering low-maintenance city living. A lift serves the floor, and the flat has fresh neutral décor, a spacious sitting/dining room with a Juliet balcony, separate fitted kitchen and a modern shower room. Off-street visitor parking and attractive communal gardens add convenience and pleasant outdoor space.
Residents benefit from communal facilities that support sociable, independent living: a lounge/day room, laundry, guest suite and organised social events. The apartment is chain-free and has a long lease (approximately 108 years remaining), making it suitable for buyers seeking a ready-to-move retirement base in central Norwich.
Buyers should note the service charge and ground rent are significant (£3,223pa service charge; £395pa ground rent). The overall internal size is small (about 415 sq ft) and heating is electric, which can affect running costs. The property sits in an area with high crime and marked deprivation statistics—prospective purchasers should consider local conditions and security measures.
Overall, this well-presented apartment offers a comfortable, sociable retirement option close to city amenities, but it is best suited to those prioritising low-maintenance living and communal support over large internal space.
