This well-presented first-floor retirement apartment sits within a purpose-built over-55s development close to Midsomer Norton town centre. The apartment has its own entrance and a simple layout: landing, sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom — the second bedroom is currently used as a dining room. Communal facilities include a site manager, Careline emergency system, residents’ lounge, gardens and a guest room for visitors.
Practical features include double glazing and electric storage heating, and the apartment is offered with no onward chain. The seller is including one year’s ground rent and service charge in the sale price, which helps with first-year running costs. There are parking spaces on site, although residents join a waiting list via the site manager.
Important facts and drawbacks: this is a leasehold retirement property with approximately 92 years remaining, an annual ground rent of £134 and a service charge around £2,640 per year. Heating is electric storage, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. Local crime levels are reported above average — something to consider when assessing the neighbourhood.
This property will suit downsizers seeking low-maintenance living, on-site support and proximity to local shops and services. It’s presented for immediate occupation but will repay practical upgrades over time, such as modernising the kitchen, updating heating controls, and cosmetic refreshes to make it truly your own.
