This two-bedroom Retirement Living PLUS apartment in Monument Place is designed for over-70s who want a secure, low-maintenance base close to Salisbury Cathedral. The flat is ready to move into and benefits from an on-site chef-run bistro, 24/7 staff on-call, and a dedicated Estate Manager handling day-to-day running — practical comforts that support independent living.
Internally the layout is practical: a modern fitted kitchen, living room, walk-in wardrobe, storage room and an en-suite to the main bedroom. At around 786 sq ft the apartment offers comfortable proportions for two, with up-to-date finishes and a strong SAP rating (up to 87). Multiple shared-ownership options are available (example pricing shown for 50% and 75% shares), with a long lease (985 years) and a below-average service charge (£447 pcm).
Important considerations: this is a leasehold, shared-ownership retirement scheme exclusively for the over-70s. Heating is electric (room heaters), and the property sits in an area flagged for higher crime rates and wider area deprivation. There is a medium flooding risk. These factors make this apartment most suitable for buyers prioritising on-site support, community living and convenience over a standalone family home.
Overall the property will appeal to downsizers seeking a managed, social environment close to city amenities and good broadband/mobile connectivity. It also offers potential for prudent buyers who want long lease security and flexible share options, provided they are comfortable with electric heating and the local area issues outlined.
