This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Kingfisher Court offers a comfortable, low-effort home tailored for active retirees and those looking to downsize without compromise. The living room opens onto a walk-out balcony with views toward the playing field, and the smart, integrated kitchen and generous storage make everyday living straightforward. Built recently and newly renovated, the apartment feels modern and move-in ready.
Residents benefit from lift access to all floors and a wide range of on-site facilities: a bistro, homeowners’ lounge, wellness suite, landscaped gardens and 24/7 CQC-registered staff. One hour of weekly domestic assistance is included, and the development is pet friendly — useful practical extras that support independent living while providing social opportunities.
There are notable running costs to factor into your decision. The annual service charge is high and includes communal services, care staff and building maintenance; the ground rent is payable and the property uses electric room heating. These costs may be partially offset by entitlement payments for qualifying homeowners, but buyers should review the figures carefully.
Overall this apartment suits buyers seeking a furnished, low-maintenance home in central Taunton with communal support and social amenities close at hand. The long lease and recent build/renovation are positives, but the ongoing service charge and electric heating are important practical considerations.
