One double bedroom with built-in wardrobe
A well-presented one-bedroom retirement apartment set within a modern brick development close to Newent’s town centre. The flat opens to a comfortable living room with a feature fireplace and good natural light, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, and a shower room. Communal facilities include a ground-floor residents’ room, well-tended gardens and parking. EPC C and council tax Band A help running costs remain modest.
This home suits a quieter, low-maintenance lifestyle for the over-55s — ideal for someone downsizing who values proximity to shops, medical services and local amenities. It is offered chain-free and includes water rates within the maintenance charge, simplifying budgeting.
Buyers should note a number of material facts: the property is leasehold with 108 years remaining (from a 125-year lease), an annual service charge of about £3,118.76 and ground rent near £425 pa. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can raise energy bills compared with gas. There are ongoing remedial works planned for a crib wall, and local crime levels are reported above average. These points are important for long-term running costs and maintenance planning.
Overall, this apartment gives an uncomplicated retirement base with communal life and town access, but it’s best suited to purchasers who are comfortable with leasehold terms, regular service charges and electric heating.
