This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Kingfisher Court offers low-maintenance, contemporary retirement living with lift access and a private parking space. The light open-plan living room opens onto a walk-out balcony with views toward the playing field, while the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. Built recently (2018) and refurbished, the apartment has modern integrated kitchen appliances and accessible shower facilities suited to over-70s living.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site services: a bistro, homeowners’ lounge, wellness suite, landscaped communal gardens, 24/7 CQC-registered staff and one hour of domestic assistance each week. The development is pet-friendly and provides social activities, guest accommodation and full-fibre broadband — useful for staying connected and active in central Taunton.
Buyers should weigh the substantial annual costs: a high service charge (£13,197.17 pa) and ground rent (£510 pa) contribute to the comprehensive on-site care and communal running costs. Heating is electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; buyers should consider ongoing energy costs and suitability for personal preferences.
This apartment will suit downsizers seeking a secure, serviced retirement setting close to Taunton’s town centre facilities and cultural amenities. It offers turn-key occupancy for those wanting community-focused living, but long-term affordability should be checked against individual budgets and any entitlement support.
